Description
From the very first knock at the door, The Old Post Office delivers a warm welcome. Step inside and you are greeted by an entrance hall with a handy ground floor shower room, before moving through to the first reception room which makes an ideal dining space. Beyond this sits a separate lounge, a cosy and inviting room that flows into the garden room at the rear. With double doors opening directly onto the patio and leafy views across an abundance of greenery, this is a space that feels private, peaceful and filled with natural light. The kitchen, tucked neatly to the rear with a useful utility area, completes the ground floor. Upstairs, two generous double bedrooms await, along with a spacious bathroom. While the interiors remain in good order, they are ready for a fresh stamp of style, giving the next owner the chance to modernise and make the property truly their own. Outside, the property continues to impress. A wide driveway and large garage provide plenty of parking, while the rear garden is nothing short of a horticultural treasure. Mature plants and shrubs, fruit trees and carefully tended borders create a haven that feels private and established, the product of a keen gardener’s devotion over many years. It is the kind of garden you will want to post about.
Rarely does something quite like this come knocking in Salt. Unique in its history, set on a generous plot, and with clear scope to extend subject to planning, The Old Post Office offers not only a slice of village heritage but also a wonderful opportunity to shape the home to your own lifestyle.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign, consider this your letter of good fortune…The Old Post Office is ready to be addressed to you.
