Description
The building known as the Post Office and Brampton House is a house that now serves as a post office. It dates from the mid-18th century and has undergone alterations and rear additions in the mid-19th century. The exterior features painted render with a painted plinth and ashlar dressings. The main roof is covered with graduated Lakeland slate, adorned with stone gable copings and rendered chimneys, while the roof of No. 2 has stone slates.
The main house on the left has three storeys and a four-window range, while No. 2 on the right has two storeys and a one-window range. The main house features a renewed six-panel door set within a painted stone architrave in the second bay, with similar architraves and projecting stone sills supporting renewed four-pane sashes on the upper floors. The second-floor windows are smaller, and there is a renewed window to the left of the door with a copper-sheet front for a posting box below a plain light. Flanking the main entrance are mid-19th century canted bay windows with four-pane sashes, one of which has a stamp machine inserted.
No. 2 to the right has a renewed six-panel door with a plain overlight to the left, and renewed four-pane sashes with painted flat stone lintels and projecting stone sills to the right. The main roof is double-span with stone gable copings, moulded stone kneelers, and corniced end chimneys on each range, while No. 2 features a tall rendered chimney at the right end. The left return facing Flatt Road has a renewed door and plain sashes in the rear range, along with a one-storey addition on the left that has one window and a stone-mullioned canted bay window under a hipped roof.
