Description
Post Office Cottage at Webb's Court is a pair of houses dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century. The buildings feature rendered cob walls and have gable-ended thatch roofs, with four brick stacks—two axial and one at each gable end.
The cottages are two storeys high. Webb's Court, on the left, has a regular three-window front with 19th-century two-light small-paned casements. There is a central 19th-century six-panelled door with a part-glazed door to the right. Post Office Cottage has an asymmetrical two-window front with late 19th-century four-pane sashes and a contemporary part-glazed door to the left of centre. All first-floor windows are topped with small gables in thatch.
The interiors were inaccessible during the survey but may contain open fireplaces and original joinery.
