Superb character property of great charm, centrally located in this popular village.
The Post House is a beautifully presented Grade II listed attached cottage of great charm, centrally located in the sought after village of Cowden. The property is believed to date from the 16th century and has been extended and renovated by the current owners to an exceptionally high standard, combining character features with contemporary embellishments. The light, versatile and well-proportioned accommodation is immaculately presented, with stylish accents throughout, providing ideal areas for both family living and entertaining. Salient points include a stylish kitchen, luxurious bathroom suites, four double bedrooms, solid oak internal doors, impressive fireplaces inset with wood burning stoves, exposed wall and ceiling timbers, recessed lighting and multipane windows. Also of note is the lovely, south facing rear garden.
The principal reception rooms comprise a generous sitting room with ceiling timbers and a fireplace inset with a wood burning stove, a double aspect family room, also with a wood burning stove and doors to the rear terrace, a dining room with a stunning vaulted ceiling, skylight and access to outside and a striking, light-filled garden room with two sets of sliding doors providing lovely views over the rear garden.
The superb kitchen is well-equipped with a wide range of wall and base units incorporating an island, a Quooker tap and integral appliances by Neff, including convection, steam and microwave ovens and a warming drawer. The adjoining breakfast and garden rooms create excellent areas for entertaining and informal dining.
A utility room provides further storage and space for appliances, with a well-appointed shower room completing the ground floor.
From the dining room, a set of stairs leads to a generously sized cellar/plant room, offering excellent storage.
A staircase ascends to the gallery landing and the principal suite, comprising a double aspect bedroom, with sliding doors leading out to a charming decked sun terrace with far reaching southerly views, a dressing room and a luxurious en suite shower room.
Three further bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom complete the accommodation.
The part walled rear garden has a southerly aspect and creates a lovely backdrop to the property. A generous paved terrace provides an ideal area for al fresco entertaining, with several seating areas, interspersed by brick raised beds. The rest of the garden is predominantly laid to lawn with established hedging to the boundaries, providing privacy.
The Post House shares a driveway vehicular access with neighbouring property leading to large double gates giving access to rear garden. This isn't currently used as such by current owners, but easily convertible to provide off-road parking if required.

Quite possibly one of the finest period conversions I have seen. Sympathetically updated and extended to create a modern family home with all the trappings of period charm.
