Description
The building known as The Post Office and Parish Council Offices is a house that has been converted into a shop and offices. It dates from the 17th century or earlier and features a timber frame. The front elevation is partly rendered and partly made of painted brick, with a painted post and an arch-brace at the left end of the first floor. The rear displays exposed close-studding. The roof is covered with plain tiles and has two storeys plus an attic. The left end of the rear elevation jetties out, and the roof is hipped to the left. There is a projecting brick chimney stack at the left end of the lean-to and a smaller brick stack on the front slope of the roof, slightly off-centre to the left. A small hipped dormer is present, and the building has irregular fenestration with two 3-light casements. To the left of the stack, there is a half-glazed door with a flat bracketed hood, accessed by two steps. The rest of the front elevation features a late 19th-century shop front with a central half-glazed door, also accessed by two steps. The interior has not been inspected.
