Description

The building is a cottage that has been converted into a Post Office, likely dating from the 18th century, with some later alterations. It features limewashed rubble walls and a graduated greenslate roof, which has a modillioned eaves cornice and end chimneys, including a two-stage chimney on the left that is shared with the adjacent property, Sunny Vale. The structure is two storeys high and has three windows, which are 19th-century sashes with glazing bars set in narrow stone surrounds. The central window on the upper floor is blank, while the ground floor windows have segmental heads. The central entrance is a six-panelled door that is partially glazed, framed by a stone surround with a segmental head.

Post Office sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,440 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 98% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 97% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 51% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
