Description

This historic cottage, formerly the village Post Office, offers a unique opportunity for renovation and expansion. Built 360 years ago from enduring stone and topped with a tiled roof, this property has retained many of its original features while integrating modern conveniences such as remote heating controls and an Alexa-compatible sound system. The functional layout includes three inviting reception rooms and a centrally located kitchen/breakfast area, complemented by a study and a utility room on the ground floor. The upper levels house four bedrooms, each served by bath or shower facilities. The walled rear garden provides privacy with a terrace and a separate barbeque zone, alongside a versatile outbuilding that presents options for conversion into an office space or additional living quarters. With ample garden space featuring mature trees, there is significant potential to develop further—whether it’s adding a garage block or even an annexe, pending planning approval. Nestled in the quaint village of South Newington, surrounded by similar period homes and close to community amenities including schools, restaurants, and recreational facilities, this property is ripe for investment.
