Next to the Post Office and Corner Cottage

Next to the Post Office and Corner Cottage are two cottages, probably from the 18th century. They are constructed of plastered cob on stone rubble footings, with stone rubble stacks topped with 20th-century brick and a thatched roof. The cottages have a mirrored two-room plan, facing southwest, with each cottage featuring inner rooms heated by a central axial stack that serves back-to-back fireplaces. There is a small central entrance hall with stairs and an unheated lobby, which may have been used as a dairy, situated between the main rooms. The left cottage, known as Next to the Post Office, is the least altered, although its left end stack may have been added in the late 19th century. The right cottage, Corner Cottage, was formerly the Post Office. Both cottages are two storeys tall and have secondary rear service outshots.

On the exterior, Next to the Post Office has a somewhat symmetrical three-window front with 19th and 20th-century casements, only the oldest of which has glazing bars. The central doorway features a late 19th to early 20th-century part-glazed panelled door behind a contemporary gabled porch. Corner Cottage has a more altered three-window front with late 19th to early 20th-century casements that include glazing bars. A canted bay window occupies the site of the original front doorway, and the current front doorway is located to the left of it. Additionally, a secondary doorway has been inserted through the right windows. The continuous roof is hipped at both ends.

The interior of Next to the Post Office was available for inspection during the survey and shows evidence of a late 19th-century refurbishment. The roof was not inspected.
