The Old Post Office

The Old Post Office is a house that was formerly a post office, built in the early 19th century. It features red brick in Flemish bond with some grey headers, and the left side elevation facing the road has roughly coursed galletted stone on the ground floor, with chequered red and grey brick above. The building has a plain tile roof and is positioned at right angles to the road. It stands two storeys tall on a brick plinth, with a dentilled eaves-cornice along the road side. The hipped roof has hips that return along the side elevations, and there are integral lean-tos at both ends. A red brick chimney stack is located at the left end of the left lean-to, featuring tumbled brickwork at the shoulders and a stone base that is part of the lean-to wall. The windows have an irregular arrangement, with two glazing-bar sashes in open boxes and one small 20th-century single light. The ground floor windows have segmental heads. The central panelled door has two square top lights and is sheltered by a flat bracketed hood. There is a stone quatrefoil, likely from the Priory, at the base of the left stack. There are slightly later two-storey red brick additions at the rear. The interior has not been inspected.
