Nos 22 And 23 With Forecourt And Railings

Nos 22 and 23 are a pair of houses from the 19th century, with the ground floor of both combined and used as a post office. They were rebuilt by Christine Hamlyn in 1904, as indicated by the raised plaster marking on each house. The exterior is rendered and whitewashed, featuring gable-ended slate roofs with clay ridges and two large off-ridge brick stacks at the rear. The houses are attached and stepped down the steep village street, standing two storeys high with an attic. Each house has three windows on the first floor, and the attics have gabled half-dormers with bracketed eaves.

The right house has 1904 two-light 12-pane casements, while the left house features two-light 1904 mullioned and transomed casements with square-paned leaded lights. There is a large mid-20th century shop front to the left with three lights, a low-pitched hipped slate roof, and a door to the left that is a six-panelled door. To the left of the shop front is the entrance to No. 22, which has a half-glazed door. The entrance to No. 23 on the right also has a half-glazed door and a rubble porch with cambered corners, a plain outer opening, and a dentil cornice. The roof of the porch forms a balcony with a curved scrolly wrought-iron balustrade. There is a window to the left of the front with its bottom lights blocked and a Post Office stamp dispenser inserted, and adjacent to it is a post box. The forecourt to No. 23 has a rubble plinth with slate flagstone capping, part of which has been renewed in concrete, along with plain wrought iron railings. There is also a plank doorway leading to a basement on the right. The interior of the shop and post office lacks notable details, and the remainder of the building was not seen.
