Southbank offers a wealth of exciting opportunities with its sizeable period accommodation, extensive double storey outhouse (former bakery) to the rear and secluded walled garden

Located in the heart of the village, this substantial period home offers much more than first impressions may imply.

Having once served as the village post-office, this attractive stone building provides sizeable accommodation with the benefit of a modern rear extension. As you would expect from a property of this nature, the internal proportions are generous and offer an exciting opportunity for those seeking a DIY or development project with scope to create a truly wonderful family home. The configuration is well laid out to provide good flexibility and a number of well considered upgrades have already been installed such as the air source heating and solar panels.

The outside space continues to surprise; an extensive former bakery lies to the rear complete with original ovens from the 1800’s which make for a fabulous feature. This double storey structure has been used latterly as storage but offers wonderful potential for further development and can be accessed from the main house, through the adjoining archway and from the rear garden.

Beyond the former bakery, steps lead up to an enchanting partially walled garden; perfectly tucked away and private this sheltered space is a great find for families or gardening enthusiasts with scope to landscape further. Gated access lies to the rear from ‘The Crofts’
