Description
The Old Post Office is a house dating from the 17th or 18th century, with later alterations. It is timber-framed and weatherboarded, with plaster on the left return. The building has a double-range layout, a gabled front, and a red-tiled roof. There are two red brick chimney stacks at the rear. It is two storeys high. The first floor has a 2:1 window range of three-light square leaded casements to the front and right return, featuring original pightle hinges and cobra head catches. On the ground floor, the window to the left is a 19th-century small-paned vertically sliding sash, while the window to the right is a 19th-century shop window with a corrugated iron sloping roof. A hipped corrugated iron porch with pierced iron brackets and a scalloped soffit shelters two central doors; the left door is four-panelled, and a stable door is to the right. A red brick bake house is situated to the rear right.
