Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman
It is a real honour to be given instructions to market this wonderful residence, known as The Old Post Office.

This handsome and distinctive detached period property is rich in character and history and due to its unique combination of attributes, is without comparison in the locality. It is located in the very centre of Bunbury village and offers a wealth of features.

Lot 1 The Old Post Office
A fine distinctive landmark detached period rural village House providing comfortable family sized accommodation with a cellar, four superbly sized double bedrooms, two bathrooms and six second floor rooms, presently used as loft store areas but providing potential, subject to planning, to create extra accommodation and income. Local sources of potential customers include the wedding venues at PeckfortonCastle, Dorfold Hall as well as Boldsworth Castle which offers an extensive varied season of top attractions.

Externally there is off road parking, an impressive Detached brick-built Barn ( 492 sqft ) ripe for conversion ( subject to any necessary consents ) holding a key to unlock further passive income in terms of bed and breakfast/Airbnb or as an ancillary self-contained unit for a dependant relative or a long-term tenant.

Lovely areas of secluded garden, that are south easterly in orientation comprise a courtyard, terracing and lawns.

The luxurious accommodation over the first two floors is rich in character and due to the unique combination of the residential back section and the optional front commercial lock up shop/ office/cellar element, this rare opportunity is undoubtedly without comparison in the locality.

Lot 2, Option to purchase commercial self-contained front shop premises. Price £200,000 subject to contract.

The purchaser of the main house will be offered the option to purchase the freehold of the Coffee Shop area subject to the new commercial lease that was granted 2024 for a period of 5 years at a rental of £13,500 pa. A copy of the lease with full details will be available to viewers on the day of inspection. Discussions are open to agree the period for which the option may be exercised.


This is a property that offers an incredible amount of space on day one, much of which is in excellent contemporary condition. It also offers hugely exciting potential, to be developed in line with the next owners requirements and vision.

It is, by any measure, one of the most exciting properties to be offered to the market in recent times.

For a personal description of the property or to arrange a viewing, please contact myself or a member of the team at the Tarporley office.
