Property Description

Additional Information

Nestled in a picturesque Devon setting and cherished by the same family for over a century, this former village post office has been transformed into a character-filled family home with lots of potential. Featuring a welcoming porch and hallway, dual-aspect sitting room with fireplace, separate dining room, modern kitchen with breakfast bar and utility, it offers three generous bedrooms plus a loft space with three Velux windows that could be converted into a fourth double room (STP). A large private drive leads to a double garage, and the 0.25-acre plot includes a two-storey stone barn and a single-storey workshop/annexe-potential outbuilding. Outside there’s a lawned garden offering wonderful views towards Dartmoor National Park and a prolific vegetable patch for green-fingered owners.

Lovingly maintained by the same family for over a century, this remarkable former village post office has evolved into a spacious and character-filled family home. Steeped in local history and nestled within a picturesque Devon setting, the property not only offers comfortable living today but exciting potential for future expansion (subject to the necessary planning consents). Set within a generous 0.25-acre plot and enjoying far-reaching views towards Dartmoor National Park, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly special home.

Upon arrival, a welcoming porch provides the perfect buffer from the outside world and leads into a wide, light-filled hallway, setting the tone for the generous proportions found throughout. From here, double doors open into a beautiful dual-aspect sitting room, where natural light floods in and a feature fireplace creates a cosy focal point — ideal for relaxing evenings with family or friends.

Adjoining the sitting room is a separate dining area, which once served as the village’s post office. This charming space now overlooks the rear garden and is perfect for formal entertaining or family gatherings. The kitchen is well-appointed with a range of modern wall and base units, integrated appliances, and a practical breakfast bar — ideal for casual dining. A door from the kitchen opens onto the rear garden and provides access to a large utility room, offering additional storage and laundry facilities.

Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to three generously proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate shower room. The principal bedroom boasts built-in wardrobes and enjoys wonderful views over the garden towards the rolling hills of Dartmoor beyond. The second bedroom is another comfortable double with ample room for freestanding furniture, while the third bedroom connects seamlessly to a sizeable dressing area complete with extensive built-in storage — perfect for those needing a home office or walk-in wardrobe.

The family bathroom has been tastefully updated with a modern three-piece suite, including a shower over the bath. There’s also an airing cupboard for added storage. Above the kitchen, behind the shower room, lies a spacious loft void featuring three Velux windows, full insulation, and a high ceiling. This hidden gem offers excellent potential to create a generous fourth double bedroom or a home office (subject to planning).

Externally, the home continues to impress. A private driveway leads from the quiet parish road to a double garage, providing ample off-road parking. Attached to the main house is a charming two-storey stone barn brimming with potential for conversion into additional living accommodation or a self-contained annexe (subject to planning). Also on the grounds is a detached single-storey barn and a former cooling house, currently used as a workshop, which could be repurposed into a home office, studio, or even a holiday let — again, subject to the appropriate consents.

To the rear of the property lies a private, well-tended lawned garden bordered by mature planting, enjoying panoramic countryside views stretching towards Dartmoor. For keen gardeners or those seeking a taste of the good life, a large and productive vegetable patch sits beyond the lawn, offering ample space for growing your own produce in a tranquil setting.

In summary, this captivating period home combines history, charm, and practical modern living in equal measure. With versatile outbuildings, generous accommodation, and fantastic potential for expansion, this is a unique opportunity for those seeking a character home in a truly idyllic rural location.
