Description

The Old Post Office is a house that was formerly part shop and post office, dating from the 17th century. It is one-and-a-half storeys tall and has a three-cell layout, positioned sideways to the road. The building is timber-framed and plastered, featuring panels of comb-pargetting. On the east side, there are two Tudor roses and a fleur-de-lys in plaster relief spaced along the wall. The roof is thatched, and there is an internal chimney stack with a plain red brick shaft. The windows are small-paned casements, and there are two eyebrow dormers on the side elevation. At the north end, there is an early 20th-century flat-roofed, canted double shop front with large small-paned windows and a half-glazed door; the apex of the gable includes a traceried circular window. Additionally, there is a brick and flint lean-to along the west side. Inside, some plain studding and main ceiling beams are visible.
