A FORMER village post office located in Compton Martin dating back almost 400 years can be bought for £495,000.

Overlooking the village’s picturesque pond, this cottage is surprisingly spacious offering three reception rooms and four bedrooms.

Entering via the front door leads into an elegant entrance hall that provides a great space which could equally be used as a games or music room.

This entrance hall leads into the cosy sitting/dining room, which acts as a lovely space for relaxing with friends and family.

The galley style kitchen is conveniently located off from the dining area and is well fitted with a good range of cupboards and appliances.

Leading from the sitting room first sitting room is a further generously sized sitting room, which is being used as a study by the current owners, but can just as easily be used as a more sociable environment.

There is a very useful utility room that leads out of the kitchen and which runs down the side of the house and allows access to the front of the house.

Heading upstairs, there are four bedrooms of which three are doubles and a large family bathroom with both bath and a separate shower.

Outside is a separate building which was formerly the sorting office, together with a separate loo which could be used for a variety of storage or workshop purposes.

There is enough parking available at the property for two vehicles.

To the front of the house is a pretty courtyard garden and just across the road with frontage to the village pond is a raised garden, which is a lovely spot to while away an afternoon enjoying the view of the water and the village church beyond.
