The Old Post Office, Carlton in Coverdale...

Towards the west end of the village Mel Beck springs from arocky outcrop to flow down over small cascades to pass through the village and join with Goodman’s Gill before racing to the river Cover. The Old Post Office stands close to Mel Beck and a track that winds beside it upwards, toward the moors and Penhill. 

Entry at the front is to a hallway and to the left is a spacious lounge with open stonework, exposed beam ceiling and stone fireplace with flagged hearth and wood burning stove. To the right is a dining room with decorative cornice and stone fireplace with flagged hearth and wood burning stove. Also to the right at the end of the hallway is a beautifully fitted and well equipped kitchen which overlooks the rear garden and adjacent field. Another short hallway leads from the kitchen to a utility room with adjoining wash basin and toilet. Two external doors lead from the utility area, one to a rear garden and the other to a small yard with a further door leading to a car parking area beside the cottage.

A stairway rises from the hallway to a half landing providing access to a bathroom with bath, washbasin and toilet. The stairway then rises a further five steps to another landing serving a large bedroom with king size bed and en-suite shower room with washbasin and toilet, a double bedroom and two twin rooms.

This is large family home with lots of space and bright with natural light in the larger rooms. A home with plenty of character and original features, tastefully decorated and furnished to provide a high standard of accommodation.
