Description

The Post Office and Post Office House is a building that includes a post office and an attached house, with origins dating back to the 17th or 18th century. The shop, which is from the 19th century, features a forward lean-to design, while the right facade is from the 18th or 19th century. The building has a painted brick facade on the right return and shop, with the left return being weatherboarded. The interior is timber framed, and the roofs are covered with grey slate for the shop and right return, while the left return has a red tiled outshot. There are two gault brick chimney stacks and parapet verges on the shop roof.

The shop front includes small paned oriel windows on brackets on both the left and right sides, with a central stable type door. The right return, which is two stories high, features a three-window range of small paned vertically sliding sashes, with gauged brick arches that have keystones. There is a central doorway with a matching arch above, leading to a 20th-century door. The left return has a ground floor range of three two-light windows and two vertically boarded doors.
