1 and 2, Post Office Lane

A pair of houses, originally one, dating from the 17th century, with a remodelled front from the mid-18th century and later alterations. The southern front has two bays to the left constructed of vitreous brick with red brick quoins, window surrounds, and a moulded plinth. The gabled bay of a crosswing to the right has a rubble stone ground floor and brick above, likely dating from the 20th century. The rear elevation is of coursed rubble stone. The roof is tiled, with brick chimneys positioned to the left, between the right bays, and at the rear of the crosswing. The building is arranged in an L-shape and has two storeys, an attic, and a cellar. The two left bays feature three-light wooden casement windows, with those on the ground floor being 20th century replacements within altered openings. A small cellar window is located to the left. On the right side, there's a 20th-century paired leaded casement window above a 20th-century door in a lobby entry; a blind window panel is set between the left bays above another door with a segmental stone head and a keyblock. The bay to the right has 20th-century three-light leaded casement windows with segmental heads on the main floors, a similar two-light casement in the attic, and a stone tablet above. The north side has a projecting bay to the left, with its gable end featuring an external stone chimney stack, partially rendered, with two diagonal shafts, some made of thin brick. The gable also incorporates two rows of square dovecote holes with stone ledges. The right return wall has been altered and is primarily brick with a moulded brick sill below the upper window. A 20th-century lean-to is attached to the centre of the right bays. The interior is reportedly home to a 17th-century staircase with heavy turned balusters.
