Post Office and Attached Cottage

The Post Office and attached cottage is a pair of cottages that now serve as a post office and a residence. The buildings date from the late 17th century and around 1830 to 1840, likely designed by Joseph Paxton and Robertson. The 19th-century section is in a Tudor style, constructed from coursed squared sandstone and ashlar. The roof features fishscale tiles with coped gables, plain kneelers, and ball finials, along with ridge and gable stacks.

The south elevation consists of four irregular bays. There is an off-centre doorway with a massive lintel and quoins, leading to a gothic panelled door. To the left, there is a 19th-century two-light casement window, followed by the jamb, lintel, and sill of an 18th-century window. To the right, a two-light casement window has an ashlar lintel, sill, and jambs that outline a slightly wider window. Further right, there is a round window and a line of quoins, followed by another doorway with a stone lintel and a gothic panelled half-glazed door, along with a 19th-century two-light casement set in a disturbed 18th-century surround. The first floor features four 19th-century two-light casements and evidence of two 18th-century windows.

The west gable end projects and has angle quoins. It includes a bay window with a configuration of 1-3-1 lights, a bracketed sill, chamfered mullions, and a hipped roof. There is also a two-light chamfered mullion window with a returned hoodmould and a gothic niche in the gable. To the left, a lower bay has a three-light chamfered mullion window with a returned hoodmould and a single light above, leading to a gabled half dormer. A single-storey bay to the left features a two-light chamfered mullion window, with a similar window on the north gable end. The buildings were remodelled as part of the picturesque model village designed by Paxton for the Sixth Duke of Devonshire.
