Description

Huntington Post Office and the adjoining outbuilding to the south is a house with attached stables, built in the 18th century, with extensions and stables added in the 19th century. The building features dressed and coursed stone and has a stone tile roof with gabled ends, while the stables have a corrugated steel sheet roof. There are two stone lateral stacks at the rear; the left stack has a rebuilt brick shaft, and the right stack has a truncated shaft.

The layout consists of a two-room plan with a central entrance hall, with each room heated by the lateral stacks at the back. In the 19th century, an outshut was constructed at the right (north) end, and stables were added to the left (south) end. There are also later weatherboarded outshuts at the rear.

The exterior is two storeys high with a symmetrical three-window east front. The 19th-century casements have glazing bars, with three lights on the ground floor and two lights on the first floor, all set under segmental dressed stone arches. The central doorway features a similar arch, a plank door, and an arched canopy supported by earlier cantilevers. There is a single-storey outshut at the right end and stables on the left with a lower roof, which includes a 19th-century two-light casement on the right and two plank doors on the left gable end, along with a small loft window above. At the rear, there are two projecting lateral stacks for the house on the left and single-storey weatherboarded outshuts. The interior has not been inspected.
