Gothic House Post Office

Gothic House and the Post Office are a pair of early 19th-century shops, altered over time. The building is constructed of white-painted brick with a modern pantile roof. It has a double-depth plan with two added wings to the rear. The architecture is in the Gothick style. The front façade is two-and-a-half storeys and two bays wide. The ground floor has been altered to create two projecting shop fronts, featuring arched window panes and plain fascia boards. Above, there are two large, two-light sash windows on the first floor, each with arched tracery, chamfered surrounds, and large moulded hoodmoulds. Two small hipped dormers with two-light casement windows, which also have similar tracery, are positioned on the roof. A chimney is visible on the left-hand gable wall. The right-hand return wall includes a porch inserted into the base of a cut-down former chimney stack, with a nine-pane sash window at ground and first floor levels to the rear, and a single-light window above, all featuring tracery similar to that found on the front. The rear of the building has been extended. The interior has been altered.
