Homersfield, Harleston

A charming and superbly renovated and extended unlisted period cottage in the heart of the picturesque village of Homersfield.

Property - Formerly the village post office, this charming unlisted house has been given a remarkable new chapter by the current owner, who have undertaken a comprehensive renovation and substantial extension to create a home that feels both rooted in its surroundings and wonderfully suited to contemporary living. Throughout, there is a palpable sense of care in the way old and new have been brought together, with period character providing the backdrop to a beautifully considered modern interior.

From the moment you step inside, the quality of the work becomes apparent. The entrance hall rises dramatically into a part double-height space, centred around an impressive bespoke oak staircase which immediately sets the tone for what follows. Beyond, the house opens naturally into a series of welcoming and versatile spaces, each with its own character and connection to the garden.

At the heart of the home is the dining room, a wonderfully atmospheric space centred around a woodburning stove and perfectly placed for entertaining, family meals or simply gathering at the end of the day. The original staircase has been cleverly retained and transformed into an individual display cupboard, a thoughtful detail that celebrates the building's past rather than disguising it.

From here, the accommodation flows effortlessly into the double-aspect sitting room, where a bay window draws in light from the front of the house while French doors open directly onto the garden beyond. The adjoining vaulted galley kitchen is equally impressive, combining a comprehensive range of wall and base cabinetry with integrated appliances, while further French doors create a lovely connection between the kitchen, terrace and garden. particularly appealing in the warmer months when the house naturally extends outside.

An inner hall leads to a stylish shower room and a further vaulted reception room, currently arranged as a third bedroom but equally well suited to a snug, study or occasional sitting room. Its direct access to the garden adds another layer of versatility and makes this part of the house particularly adaptable to different stages of life.
