Postlip's now complete again
We've been looking for new families
We had a three-bed unit looking for a family, but have now offered it to new members and are delighted that they've accepted. Now the lawyers and professionals must do their ritual dance and we hope that it'll be concluded soon.
This all means that we now want to concentrate on building Postlip's new group, and catching up with everything that's been on hold while we were recruiting. We therefore won't have much time to go on seeing the many interesting and delightful people who've been talking with us over the last few months. We hope you all find what you're seeking.
We're leaving the details of Unit 6 here for the time being.
Unit Six, The Priest's Lodging
This is the view from the central courtyard of The Priest’s Lodging, a two/three-bedroomed unit for sale in the region of £220,000. Postlip Hall has been gradually improved and expanded over the centuries since the original ‘hall house’ was built in the early 1500s and the Jacobean gabled frontage was added in the early 17th century. Unit 6 belongs to the 19th century improvements and additions and is one of 8 units formed in the conversion of Postlip Hall in the early 1970's.
The unit has three floors but because the Hall is built into the hillside there are entrances on two levels. One leads from the smaller courtyard to the rear right of the main hall and the other entrance is at first floor level and gives onto the garden at the rear. Ground floor access is via an outer hall leading directly into the large kitchen/living room, with stone flagged floor, a large dressed stone fireplace with an oil-fired Rayburn cook-n-heat range, fitted pine base units and wall cupboards, a Belfast sink unit, plumbing for dishwasher and washing machine and stairs to the first floor.
These stairs rise to a half landing off which is a small but recently re-fitted bathroom with a panelled bath and electric shower over, pedestal basin and low level WC. A few more steps lead to the main first floor landing.
Bedroom 1, off to the right, is a large double, with a high level wooden mezzanine which has been used as a teenage sleeping area. There is an airing cupboard with an immersion heater. The window in this room looks down over the inner courtyard.
The Sitting room is off this landing and has a fireplace with a wood burning stove. With windows both to the south-west and north-west, the lounge gives access to a small study, stairs to the second floor and to the rear garden and patio area – which is a wonderful area to spend relaxing summer evenings.
There is a small but functional study off leading off the living room.
On
the second floor there is a landing with a large built –in wardrobe and two
further double bedrooms, both with sloping ceilings.
One of these is accessed by 3 cabin steps and has storage space over.
