PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The Post House is a Grade II Listed home set in the heart of this popular village, offering a wonderful blend of character, history and generous living space. Originally serving as the village post office and later combined with a general store, the property is rich in heritage, with a wealth of period features evident throughout. During the later Victorian era, a substantial extension was added, seamlessly combining with the original building to create an impressive five bedroom home with three reception rooms, perfectly suited for modern family living.

The accommodation includes a particularly attractive lounge featuring exposed beams, window seat and a superb fireplace with a wooden mantle and clome oven, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The adjoining study mirrors the charm of the lounge, complete with a slate floor, exposed stonework and original security bars, a nod to the property?s historic past. Moving into the Victorian section, the change in architecture is immediately apparent, with high ceilings and large windows that flood the rooms with natural light. The dual aspect living room provides an elegant and spacious setting for relaxing or entertaining, complete with a feature fire surround and inset electric fire. The kitchen/dining room is also dual aspect, with double doors opening onto the patio, creating an ideal space for both everyday living and hosting guests. It is well equipped with a range of fitted units, an electric oven, gas hob, gas Aga, and freestanding dishwasher, along with a separate fridge and freezer. A large utility room houses the mains gas fired central heating boiler and includes a separate WC, adding to the practicality of the home.

Upstairs, the first floor offers five bedrooms. The main bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom with a shower over the bath. Bedrooms two and three are both generous double rooms with dual aspect windows, while the family bathroom includes both a bath and a separate shower cubicle.

One of the most appealing features of The Post House is the detached Victorian former Sunday School. This two storey building currently provides a double garage and workshop on the ground floor, along with a WC. Internal steps lead to the first floor, which is used as a games room and can also be accessed via an external staircase. This building offers excellent potential, subject to the necessary consents, to be transformed into additional accommodation such as an annexe, holiday let, bed and breakfast, or a spacious work from home environment.

The property is approached via a sweeping driveway leading to the house, where there is also a garden store and boot room. The gardens sit alongside the drive and are thoughtfully arranged to enjoy both sunny areas and shaded spots. They include a patio, lawn, a small orchard, vegetable garden and greenhouse, offering a delightful outdoor space to enjoy throughout the seasons.

The village of North Petherwin is situated approximately seven miles north of Launceston and has a range of village amenities including a Primary School, Parish Church, Village Hall, Football Club and nearby popular Stumble Inn.

The ancient former market town of Launceston offers a wider range of town amenities including shopping, commercial, educational and recreational facilities and lies adjacent to the A30 trunk road giving access to Truro and West Cornwall in one direction and Exeter and beyond in the opposite direction.

North Petherwin is approximately a 25 minute drive to the stunning North Cornish coastline with great beaches and cliff top walks.
