Post Office Post Office Cottage

The Post Office and Post Office Cottage is a shop and cottage located in Upper Froyle, dating from the late 16th century and late 18th century. The building features a timber frame with brick and stone walls, topped by a thatched roof. It is arranged in an L-shaped block, with the arm perpendicular to the roadway constructed from heavy timber framing, while the 18th-century arm is attached to the rear. The structure has one storey and an attic, with irregular window placements. The roof has a plain shape, featuring two eyebrow dormers and a gabled dormer with a tiled roof set within a tiled section of the main roof. The timber frame is exposed on two sides, with brick infill; the south side has a brick wall in Flemish bond, and the rear is made of roughly coursed chalkstone with brick quoins, a plinth band, and narrow flint bands in the north gable. The windows are casements, and there is an oriel frame above the shop that includes a central niche with a small statue of a saint from around 1900. The cottage door is boarded and located beneath a tiled canopy.
