The Old Post Office

About this property

York 5.9 miles. The Old Post Office is a pleasant, three-storey, semi-detached house situated in Shipton By Beningbrough, North Yorkshire. Once a bustling rural post office, it first opened in 1848 and closed its doors in 2006 amid nationwide closures. Just six miles from the vibrant city of York, it sits in a historically rich area with nearby National Trust attractions and stunning lavender fields in summer – perfect for a restful week-long getaway. This spacious property comfortably sleeps 14 and boasts a relaxing hot tub, two Smart TVs, and off-road parking for two cars. After a day of exploring, return to your charming haven and freshen up in the first floor shower room or second-floor bathroom, or take advantage of the additional ground floor WC.
