Denham House (Post Office Stores)

Denham House, now used as Post Office Stores, is a house dating from the early to mid 17th century. It is constructed of painted and rendered stone rubble, with a rag slate roof and stone rubble and brick end stacks. The original plan comprised two rooms and a central cross or through passage, originally heated by end stacks. Around the 18th or early 19th century, outshots were added to the rear, and another was added around the early 19th century to the right-hand end. The front facade is regular, with three windows across. The ground floor has two probably 20th-century two-light casement windows, each with a circa 19th-century granite lintel. A central four-panel door is set within a circa early to mid 17th-century granite surround, featuring a slightly hollow chamfered lintel and jambs, though the stops are eroded. The first floor has three two-light casement windows. A lean-to outshot dating from the early 19th century is visible on the right-hand gable end. The interior was not inspected. The house is situated on the west side of the village green.
