Description
The Post Office is a house at the end of a row, which was formerly a bakery. It dates from the 17th and 18th centuries and is rendered with a tiled roof. The building has two storeys and three bays. There is a 19th-century shallow bay shopfront in the centre featuring a half-glazed door, all beneath a corniced fascia. The windows are sixteen-paned sashes with segmental headed openings and stone sills. To the right, there is an 18th-century stack in the rear pitch of the roof, and a rebuilt external stack on the left gable. At the rear, there is a slate lean-to with a flat-roofed dormer. Inside, the left bay has a chamfered ceiling beam without chamfer stops.
