DESCRIPTION The Old Post Office is an absolutely delightful traditional Grade II listed Devon thatched cottage believed to date back to the year 1650. It is located in a peaceful & tranquil setting well away from main roads on the edge of Bondleigh, a small picturesque village about 2 miles to the north of the larger town of North Tawton with its town square and excellent range of local amenities. The popular village of Winkleigh lies about 3.5 miles to the north-west, again having an excellent range of amenities. Crediton is about 12 miles to the east.

The cottage offers totally immaculate accommodation presented in first class show-home condition throughout, having been extremely well cared for and maintained by the present owner. There is an attractive natural timber kitchen with woodblock working surfaces, a charming living room with inglenook fireplace (plus bread oven with cast iron door, and cast iron Villager wood burner), a good sized dining room, attractive bathroom, utility, and ground floor 3rd bedroom. On the first floor, there are 2 good sized double bedrooms, with the master bedroom having the benefit of listed building consent for the conversion of the airing cupboard into an en-suite cloakroom with wc and wash basin. It also benefits from oil central heating, and an excellent newly installed mini sewerage treatment plant for the sole use of the property (not shared with any neighbours).

Outside, the cottage has off road parking at the side for approximately 2 vehicles (there is usually street parking readily available in the quiet lane outside too) plus a large detached garage. Behind the cottage is a secluded landscaped garden with pleasant areas of lawn, patio, well stocked flowerbeds, and pathways.

The Old Post Office is a truly delightful property, and would be ideal for someone seeking a first class character cottage in a tranquil Devon village yet not too far from a main town. It would make a lovely holiday home in this beautiful part of Devon. The cottage is very seriously for sale, and we strongly recommend a viewing appointment!
