As the name suggest, the property occupies the site of the former village sorting office in a fantastic location literally yards from the wealth of amenities.
Constructed in 2006 to an individual design with an unassuming facade behind which lies a considerable level of accommodation approaching 2300 sq ft. The property offers many contemporary elements with high ceilings and open plan space, with a great deal of flexibility in its layout offering the potential for both ground floor and first floor living.
In its current layout the property offers three main reception areas leading off a spacious initial entrance hall with ground floor cloakroom and utility off. One of the receptions is currently used as ground floor office space but alternatively could make a third bedroom with adjacent facilities if required.
Behind the initial entrance vestibule is a fantastic open plan kitchen and main reception which benefits from a dual aspect with sliding doors leading out into the garden. Internal contemporary sliders open out into a vast reception area which could be utilised for a variety of purposes, perfect for everyday living and entertaining.
To the first floor a central landing with high vaulted ceiling leads to two generous double bedrooms, one of which benefits from a walk-in dressing area and ensuite facilities, the other bedroom leading through into a bathroom and kitchenette area creating a first floor studio style space but could easily be reconfigured, subject to any necessary consents, to create a further bedroom and bathroom.
The property occupies a deceptive plot with off road parking to the front and to the rear is a landscaped garden which has been designed for low maintenance and benefits from a south to westerly aspect, with hard landscaped seating areas, raised borders well stocked with established trees and shrubs. There is also a generous timber cabin which potentially could be utilised as a home gym or office.
