Description
The Old Post Office is an 18th-century house with 20th-century additions, constructed from brick and ironstone. It features a graded Swithland slate roof with gable stacks and a ridge stack. The west front has two storeys and four bays. The base has a rubble-stone plinth with brick set-offs in the two bays to the right of the doorway. There is a moulded eaves cornice in these two bays, while the two bays to the left have an unmoulded cornice. The off-centre doorway has a frame with brackets and a four-panel door. To the left of the doorway is a three-light sliding sash window with a cambered arch, and to the right are similar windows with gauged brick cambered arches. In the fourth bay to the right, there is part of a segmental arch cellar window opening in the plinth. Above, there are three two-light sliding sash windows. Adjoining to the south is a two-storey 20th-century range that has two reset tiles in its west gable end wall, both inscribed; the lower tile reads "IC Sep 24, 1731" and the one above reads "I*B 1731."
