Description

The Post Office and attached barn is a small house that has been converted into a shop and dwelling. It dates from the early 17th century and 18th century. The building features timber framing with rendered infill and coursed clunch rubble, topped with an old plain-tile roof. Originally a single-unit plan, it has been extended to two units and stands two storeys tall.

The earlier timber-framed section on the left has a shop entrance below a three-light casement window. Although the front framing is covered with later boarding, the left gable wall's framing remains exposed and includes a first-floor oriel window supported by shaped brackets with ovolo mouldings. The rubble unit on the right has an additional entrance, which is sheltered by a 19th-century tiled open porch, and features casement windows on both the ground and first floors. A large projecting chimney on the right is shared with a lower rubble range that connects to a small barn made of rubble and weatherboarding, which projects to the front. The interiors have not been inspected.
