Description

The Old Post Office and Bibury Casuals is a detached house and shop located on the north side of the A433 in Bibury. It dates from the late 18th century, with an early 20th-century addition. The building is constructed from random and coursed rubble limestone, featuring ashlar chimneys and a stone slate roof. It is two stories high with an attic and has a T-plan layout, including an additional parallel rear range.

On the west side, the original house is to the left, showcasing scattered timber casements with timber lintels, two on each floor. There is a doorway with a timber lintel and a four-panel door to the right. Two ridge-mounted chimneys with plain caps indicate the original gable ends. The addition on the right, which faces the road, has a large upper floor timber casement with a stone lintel.

The south end of the building features an unequal gable with a 20th-century shop window on the ground floor, which is below a continuous pitched hood. Above, there is a similar pitched hood over a canted oriel window on the upper floor, along with a small attic casement. The east side has a large 20th-century addition that includes a gable-mounted chimney and 20th-century casements. The interior has not been inspected. The building is included for its group value.
