Built in 1892, on the site of an ancient public house ‘The Grapevine’, 27 North Street was home to Winchcombes Post Office for over 120 years.
When the Post Office closed in 2016, it was purchased by the current owner who has totally renovated the property over two years.
Postmaster’s Lodging is a three storey maisonette, situated behind and above the former Post Office retail premises, which now accommodates a gemstone and jewellery design studio.
For as long as anyone in Winchcombe can remember, the Postmaster and his family made their home above the shop.
The front door of Postmaster’s Lodging opens onto a landscaped courtyard garden, shared with a small cottage which has been converted from what was the Post Office Sorting Office.
The courtyard and both properties are accessed along an undercroft from a door on North Street.
Behind the door you will discover a lobby with coat and shoe racks, paintings and antique furniture.
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.
A collection of bedrooms have been lovingly decorated with stylish bedding, fashionable carpets, bedside tables, and a quirky ceiling which rests above.
One bedroom features its own fabulous en-suite, and all boast zip/link options for flexibility, should you wish to alter the set-up.
Bedroom three has a lovely view of the town and the Cotswold hills beyond.
Lastly, a family bathroom completes the cottage, a fresh white suite with a shower above the bath.
Winchcombe has ‘Walkers are Welcome’ status and many lovely footpaths with interesting things to see en-route.
You can visit a remote Roman villa, Belas Knap Long Barrow, a Neolithic burial site, as well as climb to the top of the Cotswold scarp and see fantastic views.
Winchcombe hosts an annual walking festival in May which offers a variety of walks with local guides, orienteering and evening events.
Cotswold stone cottages enhanced by black and white half-timbered buildings, narrow side streets and charming houses make up the centre of this town.
A unique retreat to bring you a memorable stay.

This property comfortably accommodated our party of 6 with a super open plan kitchen diner lounge. Set within easy walking distance of all amenities in the village as well as walking routes beyond we had a super and very relaxing week here with lots of fun
A gem of a stay!

What a find! This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom cottage was perfect for our family reunion. Right in the middle of pretty Wincombe, we only got the car out of the long stay car park (a 3 mins walk) to explore some of the other Cotswold towns. We loved all the walking on offer (bring wellies it is so muddy!)...
