Terling Stores and Post Office

Terling Stores and Post Office is a house that dates back to the late 14th century, with alterations made in the 16th and 20th centuries. It features a timber frame that is plastered and has a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The building consists of a 2-bay hall facing southeast and two 2-bay crosswings. There is a 16th-century stack in the right bay of the hall and an external stack to the left of the left crosswing. A small extension is located on the right side of the right crosswing. At the rear of the left bay of the hall, there is a 16th-century stair tower and a later extension to its right. The crosswings are two storeys high, while the hall is one storey with attics.

On the ground floor, there are two 20th-century splayed bays, one 19th-century splayed bay, and two 20th-century fixed lights. The first floor features three 20th-century casements and an additional one in a gabled dormer. There is one 20th-century half-glazed door and one plain 19th-century door. The left crosswing jetties at the front, supported by two exposed plain brackets, and also jetties on the left return with two more plain brackets and a plain corner post. The right crosswing also jetties, with one exposed plain bracket, and the right corner jetties at eaves level, supported by one plain bracket.

The interior is largely concealed by modern features and plaster, but where visible, the original frame appears to be mostly intact and of high quality. The hall contains a cambered tiebeam with richly moulded arched braces that meet in the middle, along with two-way spandrel struts. A cross-quadrate crownpost with four-way bracing and a plain base is also present, showing signs of being smoke-blackened.
