Old Post Office

The Old Post Office is an unoccupied house, likely built in the 17th century, with alterations and additions from the 19th century. It features granite rubble walls that are partly rendered and has a gable-ended thatched roof that extends in a catslide over the rear additions. There are three rubble stacks: one axial stack and one at each gable end.

The original layout was probably a three-room plan with a through-passage, with the lower end likely to the left. If the stacks are original, both the inner and lower rooms would have been heated by the gable end stacks, while the hall was heated by the axial stack backing onto the passage. The lower room may have been remodeled in the 19th century, with 19th-century outshuts added at the rear of both it and the hall.

The house is two storeys tall and has an asymmetrical three-window front with a doorway to the right of centre. All windows and the doorway are currently boarded over. The left end of the building projects slightly, and at the rear, there are outshuts to the left and right of centre. A single-storey wing that appears to project from the left end of the rear elevation is actually a detached outbuilding, with the thatched roof extended over it. The interior was inaccessible during the survey.
