Description

The Old Post Office is a house that likely dates from the 18th century and has been altered over time. It is constructed of roughcast stone and features a slate roof. The building has two storeys and three bays, with a one-storey recessed bay on the right side. The ground floor windows have dripcourses and small-paned fixed glazing; the window in the second bay has an opening pane, while the third bay features pivoted upper lights. The end bay includes a top-hung casement and a porch with a cat slide roof that has a return door. On the first floor, there are small-paned casements. The house has a gabled porch and a gable-end stack. The left side of the building has dripcourses. At the rear, which faces the street, there is a slated dripcourse above two windows in the third bay; the left window is a two-light wooden chamfered-mullioned window, and the right window is a casement. The one-storey bay on the left is recessed and includes a garage door, along with an adjacent lean-to stone outshut at the gable end of the original house. There is also a 20th-century gabled timber porch.
