Description

The Post Office and Tong Parish Room is a late 18th century or early 19th century building that was originally constructed as a village school, which included a master's house. It features slightly irregular coursing in its sandstone bricks and has a stone slate roof covering a two-storey dwelling and the former school hall, all under one ridge. The building was extended at an early date by one bay to the south. The original south end has uneven quoins.

The hall has three tall, three-light stone mullioned windows with chamfered edges and drip moulds. The Post Office has one window on each floor, featuring a three-light chamfered mullion with drip moulds on the ground floor, which is linked over the doorway with the windows of the hall. Similar windows are found at the rear of the building.
