Description

This is a semi-detached cottage and post office, likely dating from the late 16th century, with extensions from the 18th century and alterations in the 19th century. The building is constructed of rubble stone with a Bridgwater tiled roof, coped verges, and stone stacks. The west front, with a gable end facing the road, features a moulded Tudor-arched stone doorway with a planked door and a 12-pane sash window to the right. There are no first-floor windows on this side, and the attic has a rooflight.

The right return, also gabled, has a small 19th-century sash window on the ground floor and a single-light casement in a chamfered stone surround on the first floor. A square stone sundial bearing the initials CPH 1903 (Charles Parry Hobhouse) is present, along with a damaged insurance disc.

The rear of the building includes a chamfered round-arched planked door leading to the through passage, which is sheltered by a lean-to greenhouse. There's a 3-light chamfered mullioned casement window to the right, and a 19th-century half-dormer with a 2-light casement to the left. On the first floor, there’s a 3-light ovolo-mullioned casement and a 3-light cyma-mullioned casement. The right-hand section is a 18th-century addition constructed in dressed limestone.

A single-storey post office is attached to the left and at a right angle to the main range of No 67. It has a pantiled roof and 19th-century shop windows with six panes and four panes, a half-glazed door.

Inside, the through passage and the room to the left feature deep chamfered spine beams with run-out stops and a large open fireplace with a Tudor-arched wooden lintel on stone jambs, including bread ovens. The dining room in the 18th-century addition has a beaded, square-headed fireplace. A first-floor south bedroom has a stone bolection-moulded fireplace with a cornice and a 19th-century inserted cast-iron grate, along with planked doors.
