Description

The former Post Office, likely built as two dwellings in the 18th century, is located to the southeast of the Methodist Chapel. It features coursed, squared rubble with quoins, and the front is wet-dashed. The graduated stone-flag roof has a rendered mid chimney. The building is two stories tall with a five-bay front. It has a part-glazed door and a shop window to the right, which is part of an added single-storey outhouse block made of snecked rubble. Above the outhouse, there is a single casement and a Yorkshire sash, both set in original chamfered surrounds. The right-hand end of the building has two sashes and a part-glazed door on the ground floor, with a single sash and a small fixed window above.
