Description
Set in the pretty village of Leigh on Mendip The Post House was originally two cottages, with its oldest parts dating back to the 15th century. Latterly the village post office and postmaster's house it is now a beautiful, expansive country home just waiting for new owners to fill its rooms with love and laughter.
What the owner loves about the house: I love the flexibility of the accommodation, particularly at Christmas and holidays with family and friends where we can be together or separate as the mood takes us. The kitchen dining area is a great space to entertain and cook and the sunny and private gardens are a joy in all seasons, a peaceful haven.
From the pretty cottage garden at the front you step into what is currently used as the dining room, a lovely light and bright space with a woodburner set into the original inglenook fireplace.
The ground floor space is expansive with a snug with a stone fireplace, a perfect spot for some peace and quiet during a busy day or to curl up with a good book in the evening, a family room with raised stone hearth and woodburner, ideal for entertaining friends or for family evenings watching the latest film or box set, a home office and a lovely formal lounge overlooking the cottage garden to the front. The beauty of this house is that it has somewhere for everyone. Here, you can entertain guests while the children are playing in the family room or just enjoy some 'me' time with your favourite soap.
There is also a lovely contemporary wetroom with cool grey tiling and chrome heated towel rail. A sink, with vanity unit, offers some useful storage although this is something this house is not short of. There would be potential to create a ground floor annexe with its own entrance incorporating the lounge and wetroom. A utility room, with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble drier leads out into a gravel courtyard with the gardens beyond. But more of that later.
At the back of the house is a fabulous eat-in kitchen with tiled floor and underfloor heating to keep you snug on those cold winter days. Cream shaker-style units with solid oak worktops are complemented by a granite topped kitchen island. With ample space for a range cooker, double Belfast sink and even a pantry, this is the perfect cook's kitchen.
Having once been two separate properties, there are stairs at either side of the house leading to the five double bedrooms. Between bedroom 2 and 3 is a contemporary bathroom with walk in shower and separate toilet while the remaining bedrooms all overlook the garden at the front.
Doors lead from the kitchen in to a boot room with stable door into the garden. Its hard to pick one standout feature on this beautiful home but the garden is certainly one of them. A graveled courtyard is the perfect place for your patio furniture and, through a wrought iron gate, is a secret walled garden bursting with colour. What better place for a quiet, contemplative morning coffee while you listen to the birdsong or a chilled glass of something at the end of a summer's day.
The rest of the gardens are quite glorious, with a huge lawn, raised beds, a summerhouse, greenhouse and shed - a gardener's paradise but also perfect for the family, with room to kick a ball and lots of hiding places. With nothing but open fields as far as you can see, this beautiful home is absolutely not to be missed and with the added benefits of double glazing and gas central heating you don't even need to sacrifice your modern conveniences.
