Description
Post House is a house dating from the late 17th century, with later alterations. It is constructed of limestone rubble with gritstone dressings and has a graduated stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and three bays, featuring quoins. There is a board door located between bays two and three, set in a chamfered quoined surround with a plain lintel and a pitched stone hood supported by shaped corbels. Flanking this door are four-light recessed and chamfered mullion windows with central king mullions on both the ground and first floors, and hood moulds above the ground floor windows. To the right of bay one, there is another board door, accompanied by two-light chamfered mullioned windows on both the ground and first floors. The house has short end stacks positioned between bays one and two. On the right return, there is a blocked window on the first floor to the left. The interior was not inspected during the recent survey, but a 1979 report noted that the ground floor rooms contained three fine fireplaces dating from the late 17th to early 18th century.
