Description - Dating back to the mid-18th century, The Old Posting House is a characterful Grade II listed Georgian home in the heart of the popular Cotswold village of Didmarton. Once the village posting house complete with coach house and stables, the property retains all the elegance of its Georgian origins — a handsome symmetrical façade, classic sash windows and a swept metal porch — while offering light-filled, spacious and comfortable accommodation throughout.
The ground floor is generously proportioned with high ceilings across three reception rooms. At the heart of the property is the family room with an attractive open fireplace, flowing through to the open-plan kitchen and breakfast room with an Aga and a separate utility room off it. A dining room and an attractive sitting room complete the ground floor. Across the first and second floors are four well-appointed bedrooms and two bathrooms, with the principal bedroom featuring a magnificent exposed timber vaulted ceiling.
Outside, a gravelled driveway leads to a detached period stone coach house - one of the two garages is included in the rental as well as two outbuildings offering ideal storage. The large rear garden is a private and sheltered retreat with a loggia ideal for summer entertaining, alongside a walled garden to the side adding further space and flexibility.
Situation - Didmarton is an attractive village on the edge of the Cotswolds, close to the Gloucestershire and Wiltshire border and surrounded by the beautiful parkland of the Duke of Beaufort's Badminton Estate. The village has a good range of everyday amenities within easy reach, including the popular Kings Arms pub and restaurant, village hall, playing fields and a local garage with essential supplies. A network of paths and bridleways on the doorstep makes it ideal for walking and riding through some lovely countryside.
