Description
The Village Post Office and Club is a shop and club building dating from around 1904, designed by Grayson and Ould. It features a timber frame set on a stone base, topped with stone slate roofs. The building is two storeys high and has a U-shaped plan with a screen wall between the wings. The wings have jettied gabled first floors adorned with quatrefoil panels. The ground floor includes large four-light canted bay windows with segmental heads, while the first floor has five-light leaded casements. The returns of the wings are gabled, and the inner returns feature Tudor-headed entrances with doors that have vertical strips and strap hinges. The screen wall has a stone slate roof and a central entrance with coving above, displaying the lettering "VILLAGE CLUB," along with flanking canopies at the entrances. The courtyard contains central flat-roofed projections, which may be later additions, and a five-light flat-topped dormer is located behind. The building also has several chimney stacks.
