Full description
A dstinguished Grade II Listed village home with rich history and modern family living.
Situated in the heart of a mature village setting approximately two and a half miles south of Chichester, The Old Post Office is a charming Grade II listed residence of considerable character and historical significance.
Believed to date from the late Victorian era, the property once served as the focal point of North Mundham village, accommodating both the Post Office and Telegraph Office following the introduction of the telephone in 1903. Carefully converted and sympathetically extended over the years, it now offers spacious and versatile family accommodation while retaining many of its original period features.
The welcoming entrance hall incorporates a practical boot room and leads through to a generous sitting room, where French doors open onto the rear garden. At the heart of the home is an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, thoughtfully designed for modern living. The kitchen is fitted with high-quality Sylvarna oak-fronted cabinetry, granite worktops and a central island with breakfast bar and vegetable preparation sink. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, washing machine, fridge and freezer, while there is ample space for a range-style cooker. A separate study, which could also serve as a fifth bedroom, provides valuable flexibility.
The first floor offers four well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. The dual-aspect principal bedroom enjoys a distinctive oriel window and benefits from an en-suite bathroom. The spacious landing incorporates an attractive seating area and gives access to a substantial walk-in wardrobe.
Outside, a private driveway provides off-road parking for two vehicles. A side gate leads to the beautifully maintained south-facing rear garden, featuring an extensive lawn, generous patio terrace, mature planting and borders, and a west-facing summer house. A brick-built workshop with power and lighting offers an ideal space for hobbies, storage or DIY projects.
Combining period charm, practical family accommodation and a delightful village location, The Old Post Office presents a rare opportunity to acquire a unique and characterful home.

Why live in Chichester?
We consider ourselves very lucky to be working in a city that blends so many different architectural styles, from elegant Georgian buildings to contemporary new apartments and waterside properties that overlook the harbour.
In 2013, The Sunday Times listed Chichester as one of the top places to live in the UK with ‘something for everyone’ – and they weren’t wrong. Chichester is a cathedral city, a county town and home to some of the oldest churches and buildings in the country. There are many well-regarded public and state schools in the local area with further and higher education options available from Chichester College, West Dean College and the University of Chichester. Our great schools have always made Chichester very appealing for those looking for the perfect place to raise a family.
