Description
Belmont Post Office is a building that originally served as two houses and a shop, constructed around 1740 for Mr. Le Grice. It was refronted and altered in the early to mid 19th century. The facade is made of yellow gault brick, featuring gauged red brick and moulded stone dressings, while the side and rear walls are of red brick. The building has double pile Welsh slated roofs with parapet gables and four end stacks. The plain facade has a parapet with an enriched moulded stone cornice.
The structure is two storeys tall, with an attic and cellar. The original symmetrical facade, which had five bays, has been modified with an additional doorway to the right of the main entrance. This entrance is approached by three steps and features a six flush-panelled door with patterned glazing bars above a round-headed fanlight, framed by a moulded stone architrave and cornice. There are three ground floor four-paned recessed hung sash windows and four similar first floor windows, along with a central round-headed window flanked by sidelights.
Inside, there is a central staircase hall that contains the original open string staircase with turned balusters. The staircase and landing are separated from the rear rooms by a partition with central double panelled doors. Other 18th and 19th century details include an 18th century corner cupboard with raised and fielded panels.
