Property description
The Old Post Office Stores is a substantial post war property that overlooks the historic green in Aldborough. Cricket has been played here for over 150 years and there has been a midsummer fair held on it since the reign of King John. It forms a quintessential English scene and the focal point for the village with a wildlife group managing a pond in the near corner and playground facilities in the far one. There are the old mail sorting boxes in a shed at the rear of The Old Post Office Stores with the village post office cum shop now sited two doors away.
Elsewhere around The Green are the Black Boys pub, Church Room and Community Centre with a modern doctors‘ surgery close by. The parish Church and primary school are outside the village with a converted mill on the Scarrow Beck which runs down to the river Bure behind Blickling. This is a Conservation Area with footpaths through the attractive undulating countryside all around. The A140
a couple of miles to the east provides ready access to Cromer as well as Aylsham and thence to Norwich while Holt and Sheringham
on the coast are not far to the north.
The Old Post Office Stores is a brick building under a hipped roof on the house and different tiles and felt on the single storey section. The three bed accommodation has oil fired central heating and would now benefit from some updating. The property stands in a good garden of over one sixth of an acre so that there is plenty of potential inside and out. There is a gap along the front behind a paling fence, a long garage at the side and the mainly lawned garden backs onto farmland beyond a mature hedge at the rear.
