The Old Post Office

The Old Post Office is a former village post office that has been converted into a cottage. It dates from the late 17th century and has undergone alterations and additions in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building features rendered brick and weatherboarding, with a slate roof replacing the original thatch. It is two storeys high and consists of two bays. There is a single-storey lean-to on the north gable and additional single-storey gabled and lean-to structures at the rear. The exterior is mainly rendered with an indented pattern and a whitened finish, while the facade above the first floor is clad in wide elm weatherboarding. The entrance has a ledged and battened door set in a heavy frame. Windows are two-to-three-light flush casements with glazing bars, and there are gable end stacks. Inside, the rear wall and a dividing wall contain timbers, with exposed bevelled beams and ceiling joists visible in two ground floor rooms.
