The Post Office

The Post Office is a house and shop dating from the late 17th century, with an early 19th-century addition and late 19th-century alterations. It features a timber frame that is plastered, with a painted brick casing over the timber frame or clay bat. The original thatch has been replaced with 20th-century ridge pantiles, and there is a slated hipped roof with three gault brick stacks. The building has a two-storey main range and a rear range that includes one storey and an attic, as well as one bay of a single-storeyed building with a raised roof. The central 19th-century door has a segmental arch, a lower panel, and a glazed upper panel with glazing bars, along with a rectangular fanlight. There are shop windows with three large fixed lights on either side. The building also features two deeply recessed sixteen-paned hung sash windows. Inside, the exposed timber frame and floor frames are visible, along with two hearths—one to the west, which is a later addition from around 1700, both of which have niches.
