Description
The Old Post Office is an early 18th-century house located on West Walton St. Paul's Road. It is constructed of brick and features a thatched roof, designed in a T plan. The building has one storey and a dormer attic, arranged symmetrically. A 20th-century central door is flanked by two renewed sash windows, each with glazing bars. There are two gabled dormers in the roof, which contain 20th-century casements. Internal gable end stacks are present. At the rear, there is a gabled cross wing that features 19th-century sash windows with glazing bars on both the north and south sides, along with a 20th-century window. Additionally, there is a single-storey extension to the south, which also has a thatched gabled roof.
