About this property
The Old Post Office offers an appealing fusion of character accommodation with contemporary specification in an attractive village setting, yet within easy reach of the local market towns and Norwich an easy driving distance away to the south east. This substantial conversion of the former village Post Office has well appointed flexible living accommodation comprising an entrance hall, stunning family kitchen/breakfast room, snug/dining room, sitting/dining room and a ground floor shower room and boiler/utility room. Upstairs, the landing leads to 4 bedrooms and a luxury bathroom.

Bintree is a small rural village in the heart of the north Norfolk countryside. The village has a newly refurbished pub/restaurant, The Royal Oak, and close by is the beautiful Bintree Water Mill with the River Wensum flowing by and is surrounded by attractive meadow land and Bintree Woods.
