Description

King William Cottage, also known as The Post Office, is a house that has been divided into two homes. It dates back to the mid-16th century and has undergone various extensions. The original layout was a three-cell lobby-entrance plan, and the building stands two storeys tall with attics and four windows. It features a timber-framed structure that is rendered, topped with a thatched roof that is hipped at the left-hand service end. The chimneys are made of red brick, both gable and axial.

The windows are a mix of 18th and 19th century styles, including two- and three-light designs, with some featuring leaded casements and others with small-pane wrought iron casements. The entrance door, which is early 19th century, has six panels and is set within a painted brick gabled porch with a slate roof. There is an arched doorway leading from the hall to a service room, although this has been blocked off. Inside, the roof has clasped purlins.

A further service room was added to the left-hand end of the building around 1600, and a parlour bay was added to the right-hand end around 1700.
