Description
Miller Countrywide are delighted to present The Old Lizard Post Office, an exceptional historic property nestled in the heart of The Lizard village. This unique residence offers a wealth of potential, making it an ideal home for multi-generational families or those seeking versatile living arrangements, with spacious accommodation spread over three floors.
Designed with flexibility in mind, the property features both a downstairs and upstairs kitchen, providing independent living options and enhanced convenience for family members or guests. The generous layout includes a welcoming entrance hall, a practical shower/utility room, and a large, light-filled living room with high ceilings and abundant natural daylight—perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
From the living room, you can access the dining area, which continues the airy feel with high ceilings and a charming Aga, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. A secondary staircase from the dining room leads to the first-floor accommodation, while a door from the kitchen grants access to the rear garden, ideal for outdoor living and activities.
The main hallway provides access to the first-floor landing, featuring an original staircase and banister, which leads to four well-sized double bedrooms, a versatile reception room, a kitchen/utility area, a bathroom, and a separate WC. The master bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and additional storage, enhancing practicality.
The versatile reception room can serve as an additional bedroom or a dedicated living space, offering flexibility to suit your lifestyle. The bathroom includes a bath, WC, and wash hand basin, while a staircase from the landing ascends to the second floor—currently used for storage but is easily convertible back into additional living space after some redecoration.
Externally, the property sits on a generous plot with off-road parking for several vehicles in front of a spacious garage, which features vehicle and pedestrian access, ample workspace, and an original inspection pit. The expansive rear gardens are designed for low maintenance, with patio areas, planted shrubs, and bushes, providing a tranquil outdoor retreat.
This property offers incredible potential not only as a family home but also as a space for a home-based business or enterprise, thanks to its versatile layout and prominent village location.
