Main Street, Woodborough, NG14

Welcome to The Old Post House, a beautifully crafted 4-bedroomed home where timeless character meets modern country living with potential for further development.

THE ACCOMMODATION

A solid timber entrance door leads into entrance hallway providing a warm welcome to the home, featuring quarry tiled flooring with floral inlay, exposed beams, and a staircase with wooden handrail leads to the first floor. Furthermore, discreetly located off the hallway is a guest cloakroom with a wash basin, low flush WC, period-style window, and useful understairs storage. The hallway also provides access by feature wooden doors to the kitchen and dining room.

The dining room is a characterful space with exposed ceiling timbers, a wood-burning stove set into a brick chimney breast, dual-aspect windows and bespoke shelving add light and function. A half-glazed antique pine door leads to the well proportioned sitting room, full of charm having exposed beams, feature fireplace and dual aspect sash windows ensure a warm and light-filled atmosphere with views of the village church.

Completing the ground floor and forming the heart of the home is the breakfast/living kitchen, the kitchen areas having hand-painted cabinetry, slate-effect worktops, and terracotta tiled floors. Quality appliances include a Zanussi oven, gas hob, microwave, dishwasher, and larder fridge. The adjoining living area features antique-style windows, exposed ceiling beams and French doors to the courtyard and thereafter access to a well proportioned store room. This area offers tremendous potential to redevelop creating additional living space with more immediate access to the garden (subject to planning permission). Furthermore, leading off this living area is the practicality of access to a well proportioned utility room with a Belfast sink, brass tap, quarry tiles, and space for laundry appliances and a Baxi boiler.

A staircase with a distinctive handrail rises to a charming, character-filled landing that leads to four bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The principal bedroom, positioned to the rear of the property, features fitted wardrobes and a generous en suite with a claw-foot roll-top bath, pedestal basin, and high-level WC. There is also superb potential to incorporate a freestanding shower or reconfigure the space to include a dressing area.

To the front, the spacious second bedroom enjoys a delightful triple aspect with views across the village and towards the church. With its own en suite shower room, it makes for an ideal guest suite.

The first floor also includes a third comfortable double bedroom and a versatile fourth bedroom, currently arranged with a single bed and used as a study.

The family bathroom is traditionally styled, featuring a panelled bath with overhead shower, bidet, antique pine washstand with basin, and a low-flush WC. Exposed beams and heritage details lend warmth and character throughout.

GARDENS & GROUNDS

At the rear of the property, a sheltered courtyard bathed in morning light offers a private space for alfresco dining and peaceful breakfasts. It provides access to the garden and a range of outbuildings, including a spacious store attached to the property, offering excellent potential to be converted into additional living space (subject to planning).

Tucked behind The Old Post House is a mature, gently sloping country garden, filled with colour and tranquillity. Framed by herbaceous borders, ornamental trees, and sweeping lawns, the garden features an elegant octagonal summer house with stunning views of the house and St Swithun’s Church - ideal for relaxing as the day winds down.

To the front, a stone-set driveway, accessed via five-bar and pedestrian gates, is lined with hollyhocks and illuminated by a lantern-style lamp, creating a welcoming approach. The driveway leads to a detached brick garage with power and lighting, while at the rear, characterful outbuildings, including a wood store, potting shed, and log store, enhance the property’s rustic charm.
