Description
Manchester House with The Post Office and Heath Stores is a house and shop pair dating from the 18th century, with alterations and extensions made in the late 19th century. The building features red and blue chequered brick on the ground floor and tile hanging on the first floor, which has been extended with red brick. It has a plain tiled roof and consists of two storeys and an attic. The ground floor is built out with a pentice roof, and the main roof is half-hipped with stacks located at the rear left and centre, along with two hipped dormers.
On the first floor, there are three top-hung 20th-century casement windows, while the ground floor has multi-paned shop windows and a central boarded door. To the right, there is a single-storey extension known as Heath Stores, which has a stack at the end. The ground floor features a projecting 19th-century plate glass shop front with double half-glazed doors to the centre left. Both sections of the building have catslide outshots to the rear, with the one belonging to the Post Office being particularly notable.
