Description
Nestled in the heart of the conservation village of Midlem, The Post House & Post House Bothy present a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful detached home dating back to the 18th century, complete with versatile additional accommodation. Blending traditional charm with modern comforts, the property offers generous living space, open countryside views, attractive outdoor areas, and flexible options for family living or guest use.
Entering The Post House through a welcoming central hallway, the ground floor offers a cosy sitting room featuring an exposed stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove, which in turn leads to a practical WC/utility room. The kitchen blends sleek modern cabinetry and integrated appliances with exposed stone walls and a further wood-burning stove, enhancing the cottage charm. Beyond, a conservatory overlooks the generous garden, providing a delightful space for relaxing or entertaining.
Stairs ascend from the kitchen to the first floor, where the principal bedroom benefits from a walk-in wardrobe, working shutters and an en-suite shower room. This level also includes a further double bedroom, a separate shower room, and a study with a staircase leading to the second floor.
The second floor opens onto a reception landing, leading to a twin bedroom at one end and a spacious en-suite bathroom at the other, complete with a roll-top bath, creating a luxurious guest suite.
Adjoining the main house, The Post House Bothy is a characterful and versatile space, complete with a wood-burning stove, seating area, en-suite shower room, compact kitchen and a mezzanine sleeping level. It would serve equally well as guest accommodation, a home office, or potential holiday let/business opportunity.
Externally, the property offers off-street parking, a garage, and a low-maintenance sheltered garden accessible directly from the kitchen and conservatory. A gate leads through to an established walled garden, thoughtfully planted with mature shrubs, creating a private and picturesque outdoor retreat. The garden also enjoys open views of the countryside and Cheviot Hills beyond.
