Former Leicestershire Post Office in ‘prime’ location fails to sell at auction

A former Leicestershire Post Office has failed to sell at auction. An apartment was also included in the transaction.

The former post office, in Tilton on the Hill, now trades as a convenience store and was part of the latest sale from SDL Property Auctions. Interest in the property was said to be high due to its “mixed-use” nature, as well as the building.
