Post Office

The Post Office and house, located on Church Street in Newent, dates from the early 18th century with alterations in the early 19th century and 20th century. It features Flemish bond brickwork, with pale brick for the walls and red brick for the quoins and openings, topped by a tiled roof. The building is arranged in an 'L' plan, is two storeys high with an attic, and has four windows across its front.

The original structure has three windows and is symmetrical. The front door, accessed by two stone steps, has six fielded panels and a three-pane rectangular fanlight, all framed by a moulded surround and a flat projecting hood with a fluted frieze and small dentils above a moulded cornice. To the left of the door is a sash window with a flat, rubbed-brick arch and a projecting, capped brick keystone. Below this is a segmental-headed cellar opening at ground level. To the right, there is a mid to late 20th-century four-light mullion and transom window, with the lintel of the original sash window still visible above it.

On the first floor, there are three sash windows similar to those on the ground floor, but with stone keystones. The central window has a segmental head and a fluted keystone. The building is topped with a modillion eaves cornice and a hipped roof, which has a chimney at each end and three hipped dormers featuring slate cheeks and two-light casement windows.

To the right, there is a one-bay extension with a six-panel door, which is accessed by one stone step. The top panels are glazed, the centre panel is fielded, and the bottom panel is flush, all within a moulded surround and a flat, projecting hood. To the right of this door are four-pane wide sash windows with slightly cambered rubbed-brick arches, and a similar window is located on the first floor, which has a separate hipped roof and a chimney on the right return.
