Post Office And House

The Post Office and House is an early 19th-century building located on the north side of The Street in Shottisham. It is constructed of colourwashed brick and features a plain tile roof. The structure is a single two-storey range, with the shop situated on the right and the house on the left.

The road-facing side has a tri-partite shop front on the right. There is a central doorway with two lower recessed panels and four upper glazed panels. Flanking the doorway are windows set above low brick walling, each consisting of four panes by four panes. Both the windows and the doorway are accented by fluted pilaster strips with projecting lozenges on the frieze.

The house on the left has a central half-glazed doorway, with two three-light casement windows on either side, each featuring cambered heads. On the first floor, there are three three-light casement windows. A band of alternately projecting headers runs below the eaves. Gable chimney stacks are located on either side, each with two flues. To the far right, there is a single-storey 19th-century addition that includes a canted bay window on the left and a cambered-headed doorway on the right.
