About the Property
Situated on a pretty lane in the heart of the village, this late 1800's extended cottage was formally the post office for East Harptree but is now a comfortable family home offering well-presented accommodation and benefitting from lovely views and a triple garage/workshop with additional parking.
About the Inside
The front door opens into a useful porch which then leads directly into the spacious dual aspect sitting room. To the left is a second reception room currently set up as a gym with a door leading into the utility room. The sitting room opens into the bright kitchen/dining room with views out onto the garden which then connects to the glazed utility room with plenty of worktop space and a cloakroom.
From the sitting room stairs lead up to three light bedrooms with the principal bedroom enjoying countryside views from both windows, and en-suite shower room. The spacious family bathroom has a white suite and built in storage.
About the Outside
A large level lawn sits to one side of the property. A driveway leads to a stone built triple garage, formally the local smithy, and benefits from loft storage and additional parking in front. There is power and light which creates a useful workshop area.
