Description
The Old Post Office is a cottage dating from the late 17th to early 18th century. It is constructed of plastered cob on stone rubble footings, with brick stacks and a thatched roof. The cottage has a three-room plan and faces north-west. The left room features a narrow projecting end stack, while the right room has an outer rear corner stack. It is two storeys high and has an irregular front with three windows, which include 19th and 20th century casements with glazing bars; the first-floor windows are significantly smaller than those on the ground floor. The front doorway is located to the right of centre and has a 20th-century door set behind a 20th-century monopitch, tile-roofed porch. The roof is hipped on the left side and gable-ended on the right. The rear of the cottage has similar window arrangements. Inside, there is little original detail, but the centre and left rooms feature neatly soffit-chamfered but unstopped axial beams. The roof has not been inspected.
