Located within the ever popular Wiltshire village of Winterslow is The Old Post Office, a characterful detached cottage the oldest and most original part of which dates from 1901. The cottage enjoys the benefit of a large private garden, private drive with parking for several cars and a detached oak frame barn style double garage.
Having been enlarged around the early 2000s with a full width double storey rear extension, The Old Post Office now offers versatile light and airy family accommodation with, on the ground floor, three separate reception rooms; a large double aspect living/dining room with a working fireplace and log burning stove, second reception room/sitting room with French doors leading out to the garden and a good size study/5th bedroom.
The kitchen is an excellent size fitted with a comprehensive range of units, worktops, a working double oven, a modern range cooker, and there is a generous utility area; off the kitchen is a c.13'x8' glazed orangery style garden room/breakfast room with glazed vaulted ceiling French doors. There is also a spacious entrance porch and a ground floor cloakroom. The first floor benefits from a large principal bedroom with en suite, three further double bedrooms and a large family bathroom. The property is double glazed and centrally heated via an oil fired boiler to radiators, with underfloor heating in the kitchen and breakfast room.
The cottage fronts on to the village road with access over the adjoining lane to a private gated drive and detached double garage. The garden is a good size, laid mainly to lawn and fully enclosed with a number of flower beds, shrubs, trees and a wildlife pond. There is a timber garden shed which is used as a wood store.
