* INTERNAL INSPECTION ESSENTIAL! THE OLD POST OFFICE: With parts dating back almost 300 years, this delightful period beamed cottage is nestled in prestigious Packington and, for many years, was the local post office and the hub of village life - run by the present owner and his wife for twenty-two years. When the post office closed in 2008, they set about tastefully and sympathetically extending and converting the property into a good-sized modern home, taking great care and attention to maintain the character and charm of the original building. The result is a deceptively spacious cottage successfully combining the old features with a new more contemporary-style of decor. There's a low-maintenance paved courtyard garden to the side with a gated car port and off-road parking space. Viewing is most enthusiastically recommended to fully appreciate the accommodation on offer.
THE LOCATION
The delightful, sought-after village of PACKINGTON lies within two/three miles south-east of the bustling market town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch, and has remained relatively unspoilt over many years. There is a village shop and other amenities including a well respected primary school. The area is well-known for its good secondary school, golf courses, tennis clubs and other recreational pastimes. Champney Springs health spa is a short distance away.
