Description
The Post Office is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house and Post Office, dating from the late 17th century. It is constructed of limestone rubble with some brick dressings and features an old plain-tile roof with brick stacks. The building has a three-unit plan and stands two storeys tall, presenting a three-window front with a central door. To the left, there is a 20th-century inserted bay under a tiled lean-to roof, while the window to the right likely served as a former baffle entrance. The opening at the extreme right now functions as a shop entrance. The left side features two-light casements, both on the ground floor and first floor. The roof is half hipped to the right, with stacks positioned to the right of centre and at the left gable. There is a rear outshut that is probably a later addition.
Inside, the building contains two open fireplaces, both of which have been altered. Other interior features include a spine beam with moulded stops, a staircase beside the central stack, timber-framed partitions, and a clasped-purlin roof with straight windbraces. The Post Office was formerly known as the Lewington Arms public house.
