Description
The building is a house that was once The Bell public house and is now the Post Office, dating from the 17th century. The front was modified in a Gothic style by brewers in 1874. It features a timber frame that is roughcast on a stucco plinth, with plastering that is lined to resemble ashlar under the porch. The steep roof is covered in old red tiles and has a large central dormer that rises flush with the front. The building has two storeys, a cellar, and attics, with a two-unit plan that includes a rear lateral chimney on the left side and an external gable chimney on the right side. The front is symmetrical with three windows, showcasing criss-cross applied timbering. The dormer and three upper windows have two-light flush casements with moulded labels that end in small bells. The ground floor has three-light casements with similar labels, flanking a large gabled open timber Gothic porch that features cusped openings, benches, and a wooden bell set on a cambered collar at the front, which is dated '1874'. The building ceased to operate as a public house around 1926.
