A SOUTH Lakeland post office has been put up for sale.

Natland's village store and post office is on the market for £295,000.

The sale includes a four-bedroom semi-detached house.

It has been described as 'a rare lifestyle opportunity to own, run and grow an existing long-established business.'

Prospective purchasers interested in the opportunity to operate the Post Office from the premises will be required to complete Post Office Limited's application process.

Applicants will be interviewed by Post Office Limited and maybe required to submit a business plan.

The current proprietor, Graham Needham, has been at the shop for 40 years and will be retiring.
