Description
The Old Post Office is a house that now functions as both a residence and a shop. It was built in the mid to late 18th century, with an early 19th-century shop front. The building is constructed of local red brick and has a pantile roof. It has an L-shaped plan, featuring a single-room shop at the front and a single-room wing at the rear.
The structure stands two storeys high and consists of three bays. The shop front includes a central recessed half-glazed door, which is situated beneath a cornice and overlight. This door is flanked by segmental bowed windows that have later 19th-century glazing, each consisting of three lights with a single transom and brick panels below the sill. Both the door and windows are framed by panelled pilasters and a plain bowed frieze, topped with a moulded cornice and a shallow hood. There is a post box built into the wall to the right of the entrance.
On the first floor, there are 4-pane flush sash windows with stone sills beneath timber lintels, with the narrower central window covered by a painted sign. The eaves are stepped with two courses of brick. The roof is hipped to the right and features a single-flue corniced roof stack. The interior has not been investigated.
