*** no onward chain***
Nestled in the heart of the ever-popular village of Bourton, at the foot of the Ridgeway and surrounded by the rolling Marlborough Downs, The Old Post House is a beautifully appointed and deceptively spacious four-bedroom home offering nearly 2,000 sq ft of elegant and versatile accommodation.
Approached the paved driveway with off-street parking and a generous garage, the property boasts a walled front garden and a welcoming path leading to the front door. Upon entry, you are greeted by a large central hall-complete with high ceilings, polished timber floors, and a wood-burning stove-that doubles as a charming additional reception space.
The heart of the home is the bright and expansive kitchen/dining room, thoughtfully designed with a central island, granite worktops, and ample storage. French doors open to the rear terrace, perfect for al fresco dining. A separate utility room and cloakroom are neatly tucked away beyond, providing essential day-to-day functionality.
To the rear, the main living room offers another set of French doors onto the garden, creating a wonderful indoor-outdoor flow. A second sitting room/snug at the front of the house, complete with another wood-burning stove, provides the perfect retreat for cosy evenings. There's also a dedicated office and a large storage area, ideal for busy family life or working from home.
Upstairs, the first floor houses three well-proportioned bedrooms and two modern bathrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys built-in storage and a sleek en-suite shower room, while the remaining two double bedrooms are serviced by a stylish family bathroom. A fully boarded loft offers further extensive storage potential.
The rear garden is a private sanctuary-mainly laid to lawn and surrounded by mature planting and high stone walls, making it safe and secure for both children and pets.
