Description
The Post Office is a house and shop dating from the early 19th century. It features a combination of red brick and timber framing with a roughcast-rendered facade. The roof is pantiled, with glazed black tiles at the front. The building has two storeys and a double pile plan. There are three windows, including three-light casements, and one 19th-century sash window on the ground floor, although the glazing bars are missing. The ground floor showcases a well-preserved early 19th-century shopfront, which includes a pair of slightly projecting shop windows with 18 and 15 panes, both having rounded panelled corners. Narrow fluted pilasters are located at the extreme left and right. The central shop doorway is flanked by similar fluted pilasters and features a 19th-century half-glazed four-panel door. To the left, there is a matching doorway that leads into the living accommodation, which has a 19th-century six-panel door with the two upper panels glazed. Above the entire shopfront is a continuous frieze and mutule cornice.
