Description
The Post Office is a house that has been converted into a shop and residence. It dates from the mid-18th century, with some early 19th-century and late 20th-century alterations. The building is constructed of brick and has a tile roof with a gable-end stack. It stands two storeys tall with an attic, which is illuminated by three gabled dormers. The exterior features a dentilled brick cornice and has three windows on the upper floor: a 2-light 20th-century casement window to the left and two boxed 16-pane sash windows, all set under rubbed brick heads.
On the ground floor, there are four windows: to the left, two boxed glazing bar sashes and a square oriel window with a flat roof and blind; to the right, there is a canted bay window with a flat roof. There are two entrances located between the pairs of windows. The left entrance has a wooden architrave beneath a soldier course and features a 20th-century glazed door. The right entrance has an open pedimented doorcase with fluted pilasters, a segmental fanlight, and a six-panel door.
