Description
The Old Post Office is an 18th-century house located on Warborough Wharf Road in Shillingford. It is constructed of coursed clunch rubble with brick dressings and has an old plain-tile roof with brick stacks. The building is designed in an L-plan and stands two storeys high. The front facing the road is irregular, featuring three later inserted 3-light casements at the ground floor and two 2-light casements at the first floor. To the left, there are large 20th-century garage doors. The roof is hipped on the right side and half-hipped on the left.
The main range, which projects to the rear, has a two-window front that faces left. It includes a central six-panel door flanked by tall windows with gauged-brick flat arches, set in two-storey brick panels. There is an inserted third window at the first floor and a storey band. A stepped brick plinth and a dentil eaves course are repeated on the road front. The right side of the rear range features a full-width out shut. The interior has not been inspected.
