Description
The Post Office is a building that combines two houses, dating from the 16th and 18th centuries, which were altered in the late 19th century. It features a timber frame, is plastered, and has a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The house on the left has three bays facing southeast, while the house on the right has four bays, with an axial stack located at the junction of the two. An early 20th-century flat-roofed shop extends forward from the middle, taking up more than half of the street elevation. The left house has two storeys with attics, and the right house has two storeys. On the ground floor, there are double doors leading to a garage in the left bay of the left house, shop windows, and a late 19th-century splayed bay window. The first floor features seven late 19th-century sash windows, each with four lights. Additionally, there are three late 19th-century casement windows in gabled dormers on the gambrel roof of the left house. The shop has glazed doors, and there is a six-panel door with the top panels glazed.
