Old Post Office Cottage Post House

Old Post Office Cottage and Post House is a mid-17th century house that was formerly a post office. It is timber framed and plastered, standing two storeys high with attics and a peg-tile roof, gabled against the adjoining properties in a terrace. The building features a large ridgeline stack, characteristic of the 17th century, although it has been rebuilt with a diagonal shaft.

The front of the building has three double-hung sash windows with small panes and moulded surrounds, positioned above two similar windows and a canted bay window, which also has double-hung sash windows. There is a 20th-century doorcase with a pediment gable that creates a baffle-entry plan. To the right, Old Post Office Cottage has one double-hung sash window with small panes above an early 19th-century doorcase, which features a 20th-century projecting gable and a fanlight with cast metal corners designed in circular and spray motifs. It also includes another canted bay window similar to that of the Post House.

At the rear, there is a large block that extends at right angles and has a gabled peg-tile roof with a catslide down on the east side to a low single-storey height. A gabled dormer is present over the stair tower at the back. Inside, the building showcases substantial framing with stop chamfers, a large two-sided inglenook stack with a mutilated moulded mantel beam, and a staircase located behind the stack with fret balusters on the top attic flight. The attic is floored, and the roof features joggled side purlins, along with some original cupboard doors.
