Description
The building at No. 48 North Bailey, originally a house from the early 18th century, now serves as a Post Office. The structure features incised stucco with painted ashlar dressings and a Welsh slate roof, complemented by brick and rendered chimneys. It stands three storeys high and has two bays. The shop front displays Jacobean ornamentation with pilasters framing a four-panelled door to the house on the left and a shop entrance on the right. The shop window consists of six panes with vertical glazing bars and includes a letter-box on the left, all beneath an entablature with a modillioned cornice supported by brackets. The upper floors feature late 19th-century sash windows in wide boxes with projecting stone sills. The eaves band is irregular, and there are two end chimneys, one rendered on the left and a new brick one on the right.
