The Owners Love - The Old Post Office has filled our lives with so much joy over the past three years. A home to our two and four legged family, a base for numerous adventures, a place to host laughter filled dinner parties and a place with enough memories to last a lifetime. While we are relocating to be nearer family and we know we will miss this special home, we are excited for the next residents to experience such a wonderful place to live. It has been a labour of love to restore her to her former glory, with a few modern touches to make it a comfortable place to live. The house blossoms with charm and feels filled with good energy.

The Master bedroom, with its original beams offers a beautiful tranquil space, and each day starts with a beautiful sunrise over the fields, while the ground floor bedroom offers a beautiful view of the garden which is always a favourite with visitors. In the summer we often spend time in the large kitchen, cooking up delights for friends and family, with the double doors opened up to the garden. It is a wonderful entertaining space at all times of year, whether it is in the dining room, kitchen or garden. We have even hosted diner parties in the cellar! Whenever the sun is out, we will often spend time in the garden, listening to the songbirds, appreciating the colour of the flowers and getting our hands dirty gardening. Every year the apple tree delivers a spectacular bounty which means lots of apple crumble! We also love the market in Marlborough where we get all our fruit and veg. Kim Loves - Wow, what a house!
