The charming Aidensfield post office, made famous by the beloved TV series Heartbeat, is now on the market and available for purchase. For just £290,000, you can own a piece of television history and become the proud owner of this quaint property.
Fans of the hit ITV drama will recognize the post office as a regular setting in the seventh and eighth series, where viewers followed the lives of local residents, police officers, and medical staff in the fictional village of Aidensfield. Just like in the show, the post office is not just a facade, but a functioning post office and gift shop. The iconic sign with the village's name still hangs proudly on the front of the charming semi-detached building, which also boasts four bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Die-hard fans may recall that Sergeant Oscar Blaketon, a beloved character who appeared in every series of the show, took over the post office during the seventh season. This was due to a near-fatal heart attack that forced him to retire from active duty and pursue a new career. However, this change didn't last long as writers struggled to incorporate him into the plot lines, leading to his ownership of the Aidensfield Arms instead.
Heartbeat was a staple of ITV programming for almost two decades, airing from 1992 to 2010 and spanning 18 series. The long-running period drama launched the careers of many well-known actors, including Nick Berry from EastEnders fame and Nikki Sanderson from Coronation Street and Hollyoaks. Despite its success, the show came to an end in 2010 when ITV decided to axe it, much to the disappointment of fans.
Fortunately, Heartbeat lives on through daily reruns on ITV3, allowing viewers to relive their favorite moments and characters.
