Description
The Post Office, known as Waterloo Cottage, is a building that dates back to the early 19th century and was originally part of Waterloo House. It is constructed from ashlar stone and has a Welsh slate roof.
The building has two storeys and features two bays. On the left side, there is a four-panel, two-leaf door set within a late 19th-century wooden porch. To the right of the door, a 20th-century 12-pane sash window has been added. On the far right and on the first floor, there are 16-pane sash windows.
The roof has a shallow pitch and is topped with one corniced ridge stack and one renewed brick stack. This building is included for its group value with other nearby structures.
