Located in Winchcombe, Gloucestershire, in the picturesque Heart of England, the Old Sorting Office is a beautifully renovated ground floor cottage that accommodates two guests in a single bedroom. This property, built in 1892 on the site of the historic public house The Grapevine, served as Winchcombe's Post Office for over 120 years before its closure in 2016. The current owner has transformed the former sorting office into a charming retreat, while the adjoining space now houses a gemstone and jewellery design studio, adding to the area's unique character.
The Old Sorting Office features a delightful open-plan living area that invites relaxation and comfort. Guests are greeted by a cozy lounge adorned with cream sofas, leading to a well-equipped kitchen and dining space fitted with cream-colored units and wood-effect flooring. The property also boasts a landscaped courtyard garden shared with the nearby Postmasters Lodging, providing a serene outdoor space for guests to enjoy. Additionally, a small rear courtyard garden accessible from the living area enhances the cottage's appeal as a tranquil hideaway in the heart of Winchcombe.
The accommodation includes a spacious super king-size bedroom with zip and link beds, allowing for flexible sleeping arrangements. The bedroom is tastefully decorated with stylish bedding and bedside tables, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The adjoining bathroom is thoughtfully designed to be accessible for individuals with limited mobility, featuring a bath with a sit and lift seat, as well as a shower. This attention to detail ensures that all guests can fully enjoy the facilities during their stay.
Winchcombe is renowned for its scenic walking paths and has earned the "Walkers are Welcome" status, making it an ideal destination for outdoor enthusiasts.
