Description

The Old Post Office is a cottage dating from the late 16th to early 17th century. It features a timber frame resting on a stone sill, with whitewashed wattle and daub and brick infilling, topped by a thatched roof. The building is single storey with an attic and consists of two bays, which include a heated hall and a narrower service bay located at the rear of the stack. The framing has two panels high and includes ogee corner braces at the front. There is a boarded door leading to the service bay, which has a pent tiled roof. The cottage has canted ovolo moulded windows supported by single brackets and tiled roofs, featuring diamond leading in both the hall and the chamber above. The roof is quarter-hipped on the left side and hipped over the service bay, with a single flue brick stack. There are lean-to outbuildings from the 19th and 20th centuries at the rear.
