Description

The K6 is a standardised design made of cast iron, painted red overall with long horizontal glazing in the door and sides and with the crowns situated on the top panels being applied not perforated, as found on the K2. There are rectangular white display signs, reading TELEPHONE beneath the shallow curved roof. It has modernised internal equipment. The kiosk retains the majority of its glass windows; its red paint is flaking in places.

It stands at a village crossroads, immediately east of the village post office (National Heritage List for England reference 1192282; listed at Grade II). The visual and contextual relationship with the post office is emphasised by a tin sign reading TELEPHONE, which is affixed to the front elevation of the building. The kiosk also has partial sight lines to The Limes (NHLE reference 1353511 listed at Grade II) which is located 100m to the north-east, and a stronger visual relationship with the White House (NHLE reference 1353514 listed at Grade II) which is located 60m across the village crossroads to the south-west.
