The Property
The Old Post Office Yard dates back to the 1800's and originally constructed as two cottages. This property has undergone many changes over the recent years and now provides flexible living over two floors. The property has been expertly renovated and has retained all of its original charm whilst successfully blending this with all the modern conveniences. Amongst the character features, this home offers a Villager wood burning stove set in an original Inglenook fireplace, in working order, chimney breast with bread oven inset, exposed floor boards and stripped pine doors throughout. The property also benefits from double glazed timber windows and an oil fired central heating system. Of particular note is the ground floor bedroom and en-suite shower room. This wing of the property was constructed within the last 10 years and would suit families looking for dual occupancy or in need of a ground floor bedroom.
Outside
The front of the property is laid to a shingle driveway providing off road parking for several vehicles with double bay cart lodge (17'6 x 12'10) set on a concrete base with light and power connected. Over the garage is a play/store room with laminate floor, window to side and light and power connected. A shingle path leads in between the cart lodge and garage, providing access to the rear gardens. At the rear of the property is a lovely brick weave patio area, with mature hedging separating this area from the lawned garden. A studio/outbuilding (13'3 x 7'4) is situated to the bottom of the garden which is fully insulated, has light and power connected, laminate floor, window to front and door to side. There is also good sized garden shed.
Location
The Old Post Office Yard is situated in the delightful North Suffolk village of Wingfield. The village has a public house, the De La Pole Arms, as well as the historical church, college and privately owned Castle which sits on the pretty village green. The well served villages of Fressingfield and Stradbroke, both about 2 miles to the south, both have village stores, further pubs/restaurants, medical centres and schools. The thriving market town of Harleston, on the Norfolk Suffolk border is approximately 4 miles to the north where, again, there are good facilities. The Historic Town of Framlingham lies about 12 miles to the south and mainline rail services between Norwich and London's Liverpool Street station can be taken from Diss, about 8 miles to the west where there are also good services including three supermarkets.
