Description Steeped in local history, Stonewell played a major role in Gifford’s day-to-day business. Formerly known as ‘The Postmaster’s House’, the building operated as the town’s post office with first reference being made as early as 1824.

A conveniently placed alcove provides adequate and stylish storage for logs and kindling.

An archway leads to the dining room completing the full width of Stonewell. This room features two original bread ovens, one complete with the oven door and both still featuring the stone lintels.
