Description
The Village Shop, formerly known as Blyth's Stores, Post Office and House attached, is a house and shop dating from the 18th century. It features a painted brick exterior and a plain tiled roof. The building has two storeys and an attic, with a moulded brick dentillated eaves cornice and a flipped roof that includes a stack at the left end and one hipped dormer.
On the first floor, there are three metal casements, while the ground floor has one wooden casement to the left, a central metal casement, and a four-light wooden casement to the right, all with segmental heads. There is a boarded door to the left with a flat hood, a half-glazed door at the centre right with a flat hood, and a half-glazed door at the end right within a catslide outshot. Additionally, there is a recessed single-storey 20th-century shop at the left end. Inside, exposed ceiling joists and framed partitions may suggest that the building originally had an earlier framed structure.
