Probably not what you're looking for, but it just occured to me that Ted Lasso might be the closest modern show to this sort of cosy/wholesome British sitcom.
Also if you want something really on the nose, I seem to remember enjoying Rev:
Detectorists is a masterpiece. Everything about that show is warm-hearted. Not even Lance and Andy's rivalry with Simon and Garfunkel ever turns truly nasty.
I downloaded this to show my Canadian SO, which has bedn delightful! We then caught Nicholas Lyndhurst voicing a hemulen in the Moomin kids show. I just wish I could show him young David Jason too, but we'll get there ...
Stephen Fry stars as a small town solicitor in the eccentric town of Market Shipborough. It ran for three seasons from 2007 - 2009 and is thoroughly charming.

Peep Show is hilarious, but I would be loathe to call it “charming”. It’s mostly a “guy show” I think.

Coupling is a fucking gem. I've still never been able to bring myself to watch the final season that has no Geoff though.

Midsomer Murders is reeeeally light intrigue in a charming setting. I could watch it all weekend, but I'm all caught up.

As "Spaced" has already been mentioned, "Wasted" hits the same spot. Sadly it's only six episodes.
