A spacious and immaculately presented 4 bedroom period house at the heart of the highly desirable village of Chew Stoke, with lovely gardens.
A very attractive, village centre home with a rich history dating back to the 1700's, with later additions. Until the 1960's it was the village post office. The current owners purchased the property in 2016 and have since renovated throughout creating a marvellous and flexible family home, ideal for family living and entertaining alike. It is located within a very short walk to the very popular villageprimary school.It is entered through a spacious reception hall with attractive tiled flooring and a wood burning stove. To the left is the well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room with an island, dual aspect, beams, range cooker and door that opens out to the south facing garden. Off the reception hall in front of you is a living room with under floor heating and a staircase leading up to the first floor. Off this room is the dining room with bespoke built-in seating and bi-fold doors that lead out to the garden. There is also a stylish downstairs shower room, which has been recently installed. Completing the ground floor is the impressive sitting room which is a wonderful room and includes a wood burning stove, wooden floors and views out over the garden.All the bedroom accommodation is located off the reception hall. There are four spacious bedrooms, a family bathroom and a shower room neighbouring the master bedroom, up some stairs, creating a suite. The master bedroom is very spacious and has under floor heating, as does bedroom number two. The current owners raised the roof to enhance the space on the first floor andthe ceiling heights. There are three attics and newly installed Accoya wood, double glazed windows through out the house.OutsideIt is accessed through wooden gates into a paved drive with parking for 3 cars. There is access from the drive around the side of the property to the garden. The garden is a fantastic feature of the property and is raised up, level and south facing. There is a very large stone terrace off the kitchen and dining room, ideal for entertaining. The rest of the garden is predominantly laid to lawn and is surrounded by attractive stone walling. The rear elevation is very attractive with the current owners taking it right back to the stone, having been previously painted. This has really enhanced its appearance.Neighbouring the sitting room, but with no connecting internal door, is a garage/home office/outbuilding. It has access from the very quiet lane and the garden. The current owners use the ground floor for storage and a workshop and the first floor as a home office/music room. This building offers flexibility in its use and potential for a prospective purchaser. The Old Post Office is awonderful family home inside and out.
