A Charming Former Village Post Office in the Heart of Charlton Kings
Full of character and history, this charming former village post office is ideally situated in the sought-after village of Charlton Kings, renowned for its highly regarded local schools, excellent amenities and beautiful surrounding countryside.

At the heart of the home is a superb open-plan kitchen, dining and family room. Filled with natural light, this sociable space has direct access to the rear garden and plenty of room for comfortable seating around the log-burning stove, as well as a large family dining table. The farmhouse-style fitted kitchen provides an excellent amount of workspace and storage, making this a wonderfully practical and inviting room for everyday family life and entertaining.

The ground floor also offers a useful utility room with side access, particularly convenient after countryside walks with children or dogs. There is also a downstairs shower room and WC. To the front of the property, a versatile snug provides an ideal quiet retreat and could also be used as a bedroom if required. A further reception/sitting room provides additional flexible living space.

Upstairs are three well-proportioned double bedrooms and a modern family bathroom, complete with bath and separate shower.

The loft was converted many years ago and provides a further versatile space, together with bathroom facilities. The current owners have made use of the space for a variety of purposes over the years. There is also a generous amount of useful eaves storage.

Outside, the property benefits from a garden and gated driveway to the front. To the rear, the garden enjoys lovely open views towards the surrounding hills and countryside. Mainly laid to lawn, it features a large patio area, established flower beds and borders, a workshop and, completing the picture, a garage.

Location

Set back from London Road, the property is perfectly placed for enjoying both village life and the beautiful surrounding Cotswold countryside.

For those who enjoy walking, a stroll in one direction takes you towards the reservoir and the stunning countryside walks of nearby Lineover Woods. Afterwards, you can stop at Dunkertons for a coffee, or perhaps a glass of wine or cider.

Walk in the opposite direction and you’ll find yourself at Sixways, with its excellent selection of cafés, pubs and restaurants, alongside a range of independent and boutique shops and everyday amenities including a chemist, barbers, hair salon and doctors’ surgery.

A convenient passageway close to the property provides access to the heart of the village and offers an easy route to Balcarras School, as well as the local infant, junior and primary schools.

Combining period character, generous and versatile accommodation, a delightful garden with far-reaching countryside views, and an enviable village location, this is a wonderfully distinctive home with plenty to offer.
