Post Office

The building is a house and shop located at the street junction on Broad Street in Modbury. It dates from the 18th century, with the street facade being renewed in 1987. The exterior features asbestos-cement slate hanging and a painted rubble flank wall that has a channelled pilaster strip facing Pandwell Street. The roof is slate, hipped to the right, and adorned with decorative ridge tiles.

The structure has three storeys and three windows. The ground floor showcases a continuous plate-glass shop frame from the late 19th or early 20th century, arranged in wide bays of 1:2:1, with two set-back glazed doors above a small stall-board riser. The shop front includes very thin mullions with bracketed caps and a band of leaded glazing beneath a well-crafted painted and gilded glass fascia with a cornice. On the first and second floors, there are three 12-pane replacement sash windows installed in 1987.

The right return of the building features a deep 24-pane sash window with thick glazing bars, along with two later lights positioned above a door on the extreme right. This building, along with the adjoining No 14, may have been set back to accommodate a market building that was situated in the road until 1827. The shop front has been added to the original facade.
