Description

The building is a house that has been converted into a Post Office, dating from around 1750, with 20th-century internal alterations. It is constructed of limestone ashlar and features a gabled stone-coped roof made of stone slate, with concrete tiles and artificial stone slates at the rear. The building has a double-depth plan and is designed in a mid-Georgian style, standing two storeys high with a symmetrical five-window range. The central bays are pedimented and include a lunette in the tympanum. All windows are fitted with mid-19th century plate-glass sashes. There is a Venetian window above a Venetian doorway that has a 20th-century door. The windows are adorned with raised beaded architraves and triple keyblocks. A dentilled cornice runs beneath the pediment and there is a parapet above. The building also features two hipped roof dormers. At the rear, there is a similar one-bay wing that has comparable architraves to two tripartite sashes. The first floor interior has not been inspected.
