Old Post Office

The Old Post Office is a Grade II listed building constructed with limestone ashlar and dressed stone, topped with a double Roman tile or concrete tile roof. It is situated on the edge of a former quarry. The main part of the building features two storeys facing the street, but it rises to three storeys with a high basement wall at the rear on the south side. There is also a small gabled single-storey service building to the left. To the right of the main range, at an angle, is a former separate dwelling made of ashlar with a concrete tile roof, built on rock foundations that are higher than those of the first unit.

The exterior of the principal range includes two twelve-pane sash windows in flush dressed surrounds above large sixteen-pane windows, and a former shop front with six large panes and a panelled door beneath a simple fascia. To the left, there is another panelled door under a slab hood supported by brackets. The building features a cavetto cornice with a blocking course and parapet, which returns to coped gables, and a prominent two-stage central ashlar chimney stack. The rear of the building has two twelve-pane sashes at three levels, with deep plain walling below. The adjacent range has a four-pane sash window at each level and a blocked doorway to the left. Each gable is topped with a small chimney stack, and the rear includes two plain sashes at two levels. The interior has not been inspected.
