Turleigh, Bradford-On-Avon, BA15

The Old Post Office is a wonderful period home incorporating a former post office, a weaver's house, and a converted barn to create a spacious home full of character and charm. Grade II Listed, the house has evolved and been extended and refurbished over the years by enhancing the period detail with a more modern open plan feel. Inglenook fireplaces with wood burning stoves, ancient beams, exposed stone walls and stone mullion windows effortlessly fuse with a smart interior design including a wonderful large kitchen. This superb kitchen benefits from bespoke, hand painted cabinetry, a gas four-oven Aga, and a ceiling light allowing light to flood down to the dining area below. With direct access to the garden this truly is the heart of the house. The three reception rooms provide plenty of space for entertaining and relaxing. The first floor principal bedroom suite is of note, comprising a study, bedroom, and luxury bathroom. There are three further bedrooms, the family bathroom, and a shower room.

Outside

The garden to the rear has been designed and planted in terraces providing attractive mature planting with plenty of choice of relaxing areas to sit. A large courtyard with access from both the kitchen and sitting room is ideal for alfresco dining and leads up to two lawned areas. A spacious decked area benefits from stunning southerly views overlooking the village and countryside. An additional upper terrace makes the most of the elevated position with seasonal planting surrounding the seating area and the woodland behind forming the backdrop. Exterior lighting makes this garden as special in the evening as it is in the day. Also of note is an attached spacious garage plus a parking space.
