Description

Martock Post Office is a house and shop located on East Street, dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed from ham stone ashlar and features a Welsh slate roof with stepped coped gables and stone chimney stacks. The building has three storeys and two bays, with the second bay curving back towards the White Hart Hotel, which appears to be of similar construction. The windows are sash style in plain openings, with 16-pane windows on the first floor and 12-pane windows on the second floor, the latter being shaped to fit the curve of bay two. The ground floor includes shop windows, a four-panel house door to the left of bay one, and a 20th-century glazed door set in a recess between the bays, both of which have plain openings. The interior has not been seen.
