The Post Office

The Post Office is a house and shop located in Corby Glen, dating from the early 17th century with 19th-century alterations. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with ashlar quoins and features a pantile roof with stone-coped gables. The building has a single gable and axial ridge stacks with ashlar plinths and brick shafts.

The front is two storeys high and has three bays. The off-centre entrance consists of a half-glazed door, which is topped by a 19th-century gabled timber hood with a bargeboard supported by curved brackets and a plain tiled roof. This door is flanked by two 19th-century three-light casement windows, with an additional similar window to the right, all featuring bracketed coved canopies with plain tiled tops. To the right of the building is another half-glazed door that leads to the post office.

On the first floor, there are three 19th-century three-light casement windows beneath timber lintels. Inside, the building retains large chamfered girders with shield-shaped stops and a large moulded fireplace bressumer above the central stack, which has a roll-moulded stop.
