Description
The Post Office and the adjacent cottage is a pair of houses that also serves as a post office, dating from the early 18th century and built in two sections. The structure is made of red and blue brick, with some flintwork, and features a plain tiled roof. It stands two storeys high and has stacks at the end right, centre right, and a projecting and offset stack at the end left. On the first floor, there are three glazing bar sash windows. The left section has a canted bay window, while the central section has glazing bar sashes with a gauged head, and the right section has a sash window with a segmental head. The central entrance door consists of six raised and fielded panels and is topped by a flat hood supported on brackets. To the right of the main door, there is a boarded door with a segmental head. The left-hand section originally featured a symmetrical two-bay frontage. At the rear, there is a catslide outshot.
