Description
No. 20 Front Street is a house that was formerly a house and post office. It dates from the early 19th century and incorporates a mid-18th century house. The building is constructed of coursed squared sandstone with ashlar dressings, a plinth, and quoins. It has a Welsh slate roof with stone gable copings, and a one-storey, one-bay set-back extension with a pantile roof and stone gable copings. The main house features two corniced end brick chimneys, with one chimney on the extension. The structure is two storeys tall and has four windows. There is a Tuscan doorcase leading up two steps to a six-panelled door, with the upper panels being glazed. All windows are sash windows with glazing bars, and there are sill bands and an eaves band. The extension also has a sill band and features a window in a broader box. The right return facing the village green includes one sash window, a door, and an octagonal window in the gable peak. Inside, there is high-quality stucco decoration on the stair ceiling and one early 18th-century door located on the first floor at the rear.
