Description

This is a post office, dating from the mid-19th century. It is a remodelling of an earlier 18th-century single-storey cottage. The building is constructed of squared stone with tooled-and-margined quoins and dressings, topped with a Welsh slate roof. It is two storeys high and has an irregular three-bay facade. The central bay features a renewed panelled door with a transomed stair window directly above it. To the right is a shop front with five steps leading up to old half-glazed doors, flanked by six-pane fixed windows. Other windows are four-pane sashes. All window and door openings are within chamfered surrounds, with all but the stair window set beneath shouldered arches. The roof verges overhang the eaves, and there are end stacks with stepped cresting. The sides of the building reveal the reverse-stepped coping of the original 18th-century cottage gables; the coping on the right side incorporates a blocked window.
