Palmers Stores and Cottage Adjoining (Old Post Office)

Palmers Stores and the adjoining cottage, known as the Old Post Office, is a house that has been extended and divided. It dates from the 17th century, with a 18th-century wing to the north and a 19th-century double pile range added to the south, along with further extensions from the 19th and 20th centuries. The building has a timber-framed core, with red and blue brick cladding on the ground floor to the left (north) and colourwashed brick infill above the exposed frame, all under a Horsham slab roof that is tiled at the rear. The right (south) side features red brick with a thin exposed frame above, which is rendered, and has a plain tiled roof. The brick extensions to the left also have a plain tiled roof. Originally, it was a three-bay lobby entry house, positioned at right angles to the road and approached from the south side.

The building is two storeys high, with an offset stack on the left side of the projecting gable end wing and another stack on the old range to the left. The oversailing gable of the original house is located to the right of centre, with an additional stack on the rear. To the left, there are two bays exposed, featuring one first-floor window and one casement window below, both under a drip hood. The gable end to the right has one first-floor window and two ground-floor windows. The lower extension to the left has one ground-floor window and a gabled dormer above. There is a door under a gabled hood on the left-hand return front.

To the right, the double 19th-century range has a rendered front and a dentilled eaves cornice, with two first-floor sash windows and a central door that has a tented hood supported by brackets and is set in a reeded surround. The building was under restoration and alteration at the time of the last survey.
