Description
The K6 telephone kiosk in Austwick is a standard design made of cast iron, painted red overall. It features long horizontal glazing in the door and sides, with crowns applied to the top panels rather than perforated. There are rectangular white display signs reading "TELEPHONE" beneath the shallow-curved roof. The kiosk is complete but has modernised internal equipment.
It is located at the triangular green and road junction that forms the center of the small village of Austwick. Positioned on the north side of the western exit from The Green, it is directly across the road from the Grade II-listed Church of the Epiphany and is overlooked by the Grade II-listed Market Cross situated in the middle of The Green. The current post office is just over 40 meters to the east, located on the northern exit from The Green. Although this building is unlisted, the original post office, which was in the Grade II-listed Ivy Cottage, is a further 20 meters away and within sight of the kiosk. Also visible from the kiosk is the Grade II-listed Sunny Bank, a house at the south-eastern entrance to The Green. The telephone kiosk significantly enhances the streetscape in relation to these listed buildings from all three approach roads to The Green, which forms the heart of the village.
