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.
Black Books!
Best show
Was going to say this, if no one else did
Love this one
Bernard: [selling a book] Enjoy. It's dreadful, but it's quite short.
Red Dwarf
Stoke me a clipper, I'll be back for Christmas.
Spaced.
Friday Night Dinner.
Blackadder.
Upstart Crow is an excellent "period comedy" too.
Coo - I'm a big David Mitchell fan and never even heard of this. Thank you.
Mike: Aren’t you coming in with me? Tim: I’m not your dad, Mike! Here’s your sandwiches. I’ll pick you up at five.
Derry Girls

Edit: bonus recommendation for The Royle Family
Said it before i could!
If you're sticking with that period of English comedy. Vicar of Dibley
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.
Kim’s Convenience
Schitt’s Creek
Corner Gas - it’s my happy place!
Oscar Leroy: [reading a book] This title is misleading. Are they going to kill a mockingbird or not?
Why do the British seem to make so many of this type of show?
Sunday evenings.
Father Browne is a daytime show.
Its a crazily cosy murder mystery show if ever there was such a thing
Detectorists was awesome.

Only Fools And Horses

Wilfred (AU).
Mork and Mindy.
My name is earl.
Kath and Kim (AU).
Flight of the Conchords.
Mike and Molly.
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.

Moss: "You'd best put seat belts on your ears, Roy, 'cause I'm about to take them for the ride of their lives!"

This sounds dope
Mrs Browns Boys is a good one, but a bit more risque.
Him & Her
Gavin and Stacy
