The Post House

The Post House is a house and post office located in Filkins, dated 1741 on a shaped tablet at the center. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble with raised ashlar quoins and features a stone slate roof with flat stone gable copings. The building has flanking chimneys, with the right chimney made of ashlar and featuring a moulded cornice, while the left chimney has been rebuilt in brick. The structure is two storeys high with an attic and consists of two bays.

The windows on the upper floor are two-light with chamfered stone mullions and 20th-century metal glazing bars. The ground floor of the right bay has been altered to include a 19th-century canted wooden shop window set on an ashlar base. There are two gabled roof dormers with 20th-century two-light wooden casements. The central entrance is a 20th-century half-glazed door within a raised and chamfered stone surround. There are traces of a blocked doorway in the right gable end facing the road.

At the rear, the building features three-pane sashes on the ground floor and 20th-century metal casements above. Attached to the left gable end is a single-storey former outbuilding that has been incorporated into the house, along with 20th-century extensions that are not of special architectural interest.
