Description

For those who appreciate the wealth of charm an older property can offer, then this stunning former Post Office could be the property for you. The current owners have transformed this property into a beautiful cottage, bursting with charm and character. Nestled in the sought-after and picturesque village of Sandwith, the property offers the peace and tranquillity associated with village life. Whilst enjoying a somewhat rural feel, the nearby town of Whitehaven can be reached in just a five to ten minute drive, where you will find a wide range of amenities and the Marina where you can enjoy pleasant walks. The famous, long sandy beach of St Bees is also just a ten minute drive away. This beautiful home has a tremendous amount to offer, not just inside but also to the exterior.

At the front of the property there is a spacious driveway which provides plenty of off-street parking. At the rear, there is a large, yet low maintenance garden which is quite a sun trap and has numerous seating areas. Step inside the traditional front porch and continue through to the lounge. This beautiful room boasts a multi-fuel stove and eye-catching exposed chimney breast. Continuing through the property, you'll find yourself in the stunning kitchen, finished to the highest of standards. Off the kitchen you will find a breakfast/dining area which opens up to the second reception room. This versatile room could be used as a sitting room, games room or as a formal dining room if desired. Beyond the kitchen, towards the rear of the property there is a rear hall which leads out to the garden and to a downstairs wet room.

In addition to this wet room there is also a eye-catching bathroom located on the first floor. All three bedrooms, which are light and airy and neutrally decorated, are also on the first floor. This beautiful home would suit a variety of buyers, perhaps a professional couple, family or someone looking for a holiday home where they can retreat to enjoy the peace and quiet this lovely village offers.
