The Post Office

The Post Office is a house and post office located in St Columb Major, dating from the early 19th century, with alterations made in the late 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of elvan rubble with granite dressings and quoins, topped by a hipped asbestos slate roof featuring ridge and hip tiles. The building has stacks on the sides with brick shafts.

The layout consists of a double depth plan, with a large room on the right and a smaller room on the left at the front, with the entrance located off-centre to the left. A shop, now functioning as the Post Office, was likely added to the ground floor in the larger room on the right during the late 19th century.

The exterior is two storeys high and nearly symmetrical, featuring a three-window front. The first floor has three late 19th-century six-pane sash windows in their original openings, which include voussoirs and keystones. The ground floor has one 19th-century four-pane sash window on the left and two on the right, also in original openings with voussoirs and keystones. The entrance features a six-panelled door with an overlight, and the inner window to the right was formerly a door. The interior has not been inspected.
