Former Smithy Adjoining The Old Post Office The Old Post Office

The building is a former smithy that is now a detached house, located at the corner of London Road and Ampney Crucis. It likely dates from the mid to late 17th century. The structure is made of random coursed rubble stone and has a stone slate roof with stone end stacks, one of which is partly external to the right. There is a rear wing to the left, also with a slate roof and a brick end stack.

The building has a single front range and two rear ranges, standing two storeys tall. The front features two windows, which are 2-light leaded wooden casements with timber lintels, and there is a tall expanse of blind wall above them. On the ground floor to the right, there is a three-light metal window from the 20th century, and a single light window to the left. The door is located to the left of centre and features a recessed 20th-century door with a wrought-iron porch front and a metal roof.

On the right-hand return, aligned with the external stack, there are leaded 2-light stone mullion and transom windows on each floor to the rear, along with a small single-storey wing at the back of this range, which was originally higher. The single-storey wing to the left was the original smithy and still contains a hearth, which is now used as a garage. Additionally, there is a bus shelter formed in the link unit between the house and the smithy.
