Corsham Post Office

Corsham Post Office is a house that dates back to the 17th century but was refronted in the mid-18th century. It is built of ashlar and rubble stone with a stone tiled valley roof that is hipped at the front. The building has two rear chimney gables and is three stories high, featuring a four-window ashlar front with a raised plinth, a band, and a second-floor sill course. There is a coved eaves cornice and raised angle strips. The windows are twelve-pane sashes throughout, set in raised bead moulded surrounds, although the left pair on the ground floor has been replaced by a 20th-century neo-Georgian shop front that includes a glazed door, a 21-pane window, and urns above the fascia. The south side wall is made of colour-washed rubble stone with flush quoins on the right side. The second and first floors have recessed ovolo-moulded three-light windows with hoodmoulds. The rear right gable features a first-floor two-light recessed hollow moulded window with a hoodmould and leaded lights.
