Description
The Old Post Office is a house located at the end of a row in Bisley Village, dating from the mid-18th century, with alterations from the early and mid-19th century. It features a front made of coursed and squared limestone, with random rubble on the end gable, and has chimneys made of ashlar and artificial stone. The roof is covered with concrete tiles.
The building is two stories high with an attic. On the front, the upper floor retains its original three-window arrangement, consisting of 2-light chamfered mullioned casements. To the left on the ground floor is a three-light casement. The central doorway has a stone lintel and a six-panel fielded door, flanked by 20th-century single-light casements. There is an enlarged window opening to the right, which used to have a sash window but now contains a 20th-century casement. The eaves are coved in stone.
At the south end, there is a gable-mounted chimney with a moulded cap and an off-centre leaded attic casement. The rear of the building has a gabled wing with a brick chimney. Inside, the interior was refitted during the Regency period, featuring doorcases, windows, and a fireplace with reeded detailing and corner roundels. There are also six-panel moulded doors and panelled shutters on the former sash window.
