The Old Post House

The Old Post House is a house dating from the early 17th century, with additions and alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is timber-framed, finished with colourwashed render, and has a plain-tile roof. The building is two storeys high and follows a 3-cell baffle-entry plan.

On the entrance front, there is a projecting canted porch with a hipped roof, likely from the 19th century, featuring a central 20th-century door with four panels. To the left of the porch, there are a 3-light and a single-light casement window at ground floor level, while to the right, there are two 3-light and two single-light casements. The first floor has three 3-light and one single-light casements. An axial stack with two flues is situated to the left of the porch, and another similar stack is located at the right gable end. Extending to the right is a 19th or 20th-century outbuilding, which now serves as a garage block and features two sets of double doors.

At the rear, there is an outshut that spans the entire ground floor and has a lean-to pantile roof. The first floor on the far right includes a 17th-century window with six lights and ovolo-moulded mullions, alongside a 4-light window with wide mullions and a 3-light window at the far left. The right gable end displays a brick chimney stack in English bond brick, which is battered. The left gable end features a 2-light and a single-light casement on the ground floor, and a central 2-light window flanked by two 2-light 17th-century windows, each with ovolo-moulded surrounds.

Inside, the ground floor consists of three timber-framed rooms with close studding on the walls, passing braces, jowled wall posts, and chamfered ceiling beams with run-out end stops. There are chamfered bressumers over two hearths, a blocked doorway, and two blocked windows with diamond-section mullions. A winder staircase with original solid treads leads from the lobby to the first floor, which also features further jowled wall posts and close studding.
