The Old Post Office

The Old Post Office is a 17th-century house located in Castle Combe, built from rubble stone with a stone-tiled roof. It has one-and-a-half storeys and features two dormer gables, each with two-light recessed ovolo-moulded mullion windows that have hoodmoulds. The iron casements complement a long two-light ovolo-moulded mullion window on the ground floor, which also has a hood and an iron opening light. To the right of this window is a plain doorway and a shopfront, accompanied by two canted bay windows with glazing bars, all linked by a lean-to roof that is hipped at the ends and covers a central 20th-century door. Inside, there are large chamfered beams and a stone fireplace at the north end of the ground floor. The building also has a rear wing with an east end stack and dove openings in the gable.
