------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Old Post House is a delightful 18th Century, Grade II, listed family house; possibly with earlier origins and still retaining a retail / commercial element. It has been extremely well refurbished over the years, maintaining much of its original charm and character - evidenced by the wonderful oak flooring and beams through most of the house.

The attractive, unique facade to the house almost belies the good-size family accommodation behind which in turn opens onto a very good size west facing garden. The shop / retail part of the property has its own entrance via large double doors; the main entrance is via a short flight of sandstone steps to the side of the house, though a solid oak door.

The Village lies some 15 miles south of Tunbridge Wells and 14 miles north of Hastings, the small town of Battle is about 6 miles away. It benefits from good local facilities including a primary school, antique shops and a number of pubs. There are a good variety of state and private schools within an easy drive. Etchingham station which is within a short drive, gives excellent access to London in little over an hour.

Entering the hallway gives you an immediate sense of the warmth and feel of the house and invites you to take stairs to various levels - which is very much a feature of the property. There is a very good size kitchen / breakfast room, and separate utility room and study on the ground / lower ground floor with direct access to the garden; and access to a large cellar / store room which reveals some of the earlier origins of the house.

The sitting room overlooks the garden and benefits from a large, exposed brick open fireplace with oak mantle and york stone hearth. The shop / retail part is accessed directly from the ground / raised ground floor level. The top floor is on two levels, with the master bedroom and bathroom on the higher level. Stairs give access to the loft from the middle bedroom and a further small room provides an ideal dressing room or potential shower room.

OUTSIDE
Double wooden gates give secure access to an area of off-road parking to the side of the house. A wrought iron gate supported by sandstone pillars gives access to the garden.

The garden is a particularly attractive and practical aspect of the property. A large patio area close to the house is ideal for entertaining and there are open areas of lawn ideal for children, together with well stocked borders and a good variety of mature trees. There is a greenhouse on hard standing to the rear of the garden, and a shed with water supply.

Outbuildings include a studio / work room which was used for an outside catering business - fitted with double stainless steel sink unit. There is also a separate shed with double glazed doors and a workshop with shelving and its own power supply.
