Description

The Post Office is a row of two cottages and a shop, dating from the 17th century, with extensions from the 18th century and a remodel in the early 19th century. The building is constructed from coursed marlstone rubble with some ashlar dressings and features thatch roofs with rendered stacks. It has a single-unit plan with an added rear wing and stands one storey plus an attic.

The front of the building includes three-light stone-mullioned windows with labels above the center and right units, and small two-light dormer casements above. The left bay, which serves as the shop, has a large ashlar four-light canted bay window with moulded stone mullions. The doorways between the units have chamfered stone basket-arched surrounds beneath labels, featuring carved lozenge stops. There is also a similar lower door on the extreme left that serves as the shop entrance. Most of the decorative features are likely from the early 19th century, and the windows have lattice glazing.

At the rear of No. 22, there is an 18th-century wing that has renewed windows. The interiors have not been inspected, but No. 23 is noted to have a raised-crick roof structure.
