Description

The building is a house and shop, known as No. 23 and 24 (Post Office), dating from the 18th century or earlier, with significant alterations made in the 19th century in the style associated with the Rothschild estate. It features colourwashed brick, with the upper part roughcast and the left-hand gable tile-hung. The roof is tiled, adorned with bands of fishscale tiles on the left-hand wing. There are two chimneys with oversailing heads, one of which has two open slits between the shafts. A gable is positioned over the second window from the right. The building is two storeys high, with a projecting gabled wing on the left that displays the Rothschild crest in a panel above. The first floor has a three-light window, while the ground floor features a larger three-light basement window. The right-hand section has four bays, with two-light upper casements, one of which has been altered, alternating with four oval plaster panels that have shallow incised figures representing the four seasons. The ground floor openings are irregular, some of which have been altered. There is a one-storey extension on the right and an older wing at the rear.
