Bovinger Post Office Cottage

Bovinger Post Office Cottage is a Grade II listed building that was originally the Mill House and Bakery. It features a combination of brick and timber framing, with plastered surfaces, arranged in five single-storey blocks that form two squares with central courtyards. The main entrance is located to the left of the front range, which has a hipped red plain tiled roof.

To the right of a plain boarded door, there are two 18th-century small panel vertical sliding sash windows, and to the left, there is a four-light shop window. A central red brick chimney stack is present. Inside the shop, there are walls that are vertically boarded, dating from around 1800, and throughout the building, there are 18th-century boarded doors featuring ancient ironmongery.

To the right, there is a timber-framed outbuilding with vertical weatherboarding and a red single Roman tile roof, which was once part of the mill complex. The rear block still has the original bake ovens. Very few similar single-storey complexes remain in Essex. The left return elevation has four small panel 18th-century sliding sash windows that retain their original shutters. Additionally, a millstone is located in front of the building.
