Description
Nos. 27-29, including the Post Office, is a block of houses built between 1870 and 1871. The building is made of rendered red sandstone and features a gabled-end roof covered with red tiles. The unrendered sandstone rear extensions contain workshops and privies. It stands two storeys high with attics and has axial stacks with brick shafts. This group, along with no. 30, is positioned close to the road that curves towards the village center.
The right-hand cross wing has a gabled end and is three storeys tall, with two-light casement windows on the upper floors and large sash windows on the ground floor. The left-hand range is two storeys high, featuring two-light windows above and a three-light casement window below. There are three doors, one of which has been converted into a two-light window. The right-hand lean-to serves as the Broadclyst Post Office, with a slated roof and a gabled side window.
This building is part of a long sequence of eight blocks constructed to replace homes that were destroyed in the Broadclyst fire of 1870. The houses share basic features but are also carefully varied from one another.
