Description
Sharp's Cottage is a house and post office dating from the 17th century, which has been altered over time. The exterior has been rebuilt in brick and roughcast, although traces of the original timber framing can still be seen inside. The building features an old tiled roof and a chimney on the right with attached shafts made of narrow brick and an offset head. It is two storeys high and has two bays. The ground floor has paired barred wooden casements with segmental heads, while the first floor has three smaller paired wooden casements. There is a central 20th-century board door located in a 20th-century gabled brick porch. To the right, there is a lean-to with a slight timber frame and brick infill, and at the rear of the left bay, there is a roughcast lean-to.
