Take 5: Homes that are former post offices

Over the past 30 years alone, the number of Post Offices in the UK has almost halved - losing over 10,000 of the 22,400 businesses around the country. Of the remaining 11,780, many have moved from being stand-alone enterprises to a few counters at the back of a shop. The death of the Post Office has been a tragedy for many - particularly in rural communities where it was a hub of village life.

However, it has offered opportunities for house-hunters. So what do you think? Would you take advantage of the demise of a Post Office?%VIRTUAL-SkimlinksPromo%
