Description
Felling Post Office is a house and shop that dates from the mid-19th century. It is constructed of coursed squared sandstone and features a plinth and quoins. The roof is made of Welsh slate with flat stone gable coping, and there is a rear staircase off-shot made of brick with a Welsh slate catslide roof. The building has two storeys and three windows.
On the left side, there is a four-light wooden arcaded shop window with acanthus capitals on the pilasters and elliptical heads, supported by leaf-decorated brackets beneath the fascia. The central entrance consists of a four-panelled door topped by an oblong fanlight within a plain surround, which has a moulded canopy above it. All the windows have been replaced with casements set in pecked stone surrounds, and there is a sill band at the first floor level. The roof features an eaves band and a stone gutter band, and there is a brick chimney at the right end.
