Description
The Post Office is a house that has been partly converted into a Post Office, dating from the 17th and 18th to 19th centuries. It is constructed of whitewashed coursed limestone rubble with timber lintels and features a thatched roof with a brick ridge stack, along with Welsh slate and old plain tiles at the rear. The building has a four-unit lobby-entry plan that has been extended at the rear and consists of one storey plus attics.
To the right of the center, there is a plank door flanked by three-light 18th-century casement windows, with three-light leaded dormers above. On the left side, there is a shop front with a third dormer above it. The left gable wall features an ovolo moulded wood-mullioned window. Inside, there is a fireplace with a cambered and chamfered bressumer, and a timber-framed gable that is now internal, forming the first truss from the left. There is also a 19th-century bakehouse wing at the rear. The building may have originally been two houses.
