When the Post Office closed in 2016, it was purchased by the current owner who has totally renovated the property over two years.

The interior boasts a first floor open-plan living area, where you will be welcomed by a lounge with cream sofas, a beautiful kitchen/diner with sage coloured units, a charming dining table, and wood effect flooring.
Original documents and photographs discovered during the renovation of the property are interspersed, throughout Postmaster's Lodging, with watercolours by local artist Sue Birtwhistle and contribute to an appreciation of the history of this imposing building in the beautiful Cotswold town of Winchcombe.
From morning through to evening, this is a lovely place to unwind, with an outlook over the village to represent the characterful location.
