Charming Three Bedroom Detached Cottage, Butcombe

Nestled in the peaceful hamlet of Butcombe, The Old Post Office is a wisteria draped, three bedroom detached cottage that balances rural tranquillity with the convenience of Bristol little more than a dozen miles away. Its handsome stone façade hints at the character within, while mature gardens, a garage and a useful stone outbuilding complete the picture. No onward chain.

About the Inside.

Step through the front door and you are greeted by a generous living and dining room where an open fireplace forms an inviting focal point. Cottage pane windows frame the front garden, and a glazed door opens onto a sheltered patio—perfect for quiet morning coffee or an evening apéritif. Beyond, the dual aspect kitchen offers ample space for cooks and convivial conversation alike, flowing into a practical utility lobby with its own shower room and rear porch ideal for muddy boots after countryside walks.

A winding staircase rises from the reception room to three double bedrooms, each with built in wardrobes and soothing views across the garden. The family bathroom, brightened by a skylight, completes the first floor.

About the Outside.

Outside, a low stone wall encloses the prettily planted front garden, while a sweeping lawn wraps around the side of the house and meanders toward a gentle stream at the boundary—a natural soundtrack in summer months. Tucked away is a secluded patio, the perfect sun trap, and a stone outbuilding ready for bikes, tools or perhaps a small studio. To the rear, a single garage with an allocated parking space ensures everyday practicality.

With its generous proportions, timeless features and idyllic setting, The Old Post Office offers a rare opportunity to create a refined country retreat within effortless reach of the city.
