The Post House has an extremely deceptive interior and offers a great level of accommodation, including two public rooms and four double bedrooms, well suited to use as a family home, but equally well placed as a holiday home which requires little ongoing maintenance.

The current vendors have been running The Post House as a successful holiday let and as such there is great scope for those looking to take on a similar venture. Both public rooms lie to the font of the property on opposite sides of the entrance hall.
