The Old Post Office

The Old Post Office is a house, formerly a shop, dating from the mid-17th century with later additions and alterations. It features a timber frame with painted brick infill and a thatched roof. The building has one storey and an attic, consisting of three framed bays. The framing includes square panels with three sections from the cill to the wall-plate, which have been rebuilt in brick at the center and painted black and white to imitate traditional timber framing. There are long straight tension braces and V-struts extending from the collar to the right gable end. The ground floor has two late 20th-century casement windows on the left and one late 19th-century cast-iron patterned casement window on the right. Above on the left, there is a gabled eaves dormer. A prominent reddish-brown brick ridge stack is located at the center. To the left, there is a two-storey late 19th-century gabled red brick addition, which is not of special architectural interest.
