As its name suggests, the Old Post Office Stores was previously the post office serving the village and originally dates from the 1930s. Well positioned in the centre of the village, it was later acquired by a local architect who substantially but sympathetically extended the property in 1998, keeping the existing dwelling at the heart of the design while incorporating many of the traditional features typical of 1930s properties such as its distinctive ‘Loggia’ and timber gables. Most recently, a comprehensive programme of renovation and reconfiguration to create a dramatically reimagined and spectacular family home which also features an independent annexe located in the original period building.

The accommodation in the main house is grand and benefits from well proportioned and spacious rooms which enjoy high ceilings and a light and airy feel. Tastefully decorated with a modern and contemporary edge, the attention to detail and high quality finish is consistently evident throughout. The property offers potential purchasers the rare opportunity to obtain a newly renovated property which requires no work.
