The Olde Post Office

The Olde Post Office is a detached house built around 1800, which incorporates an earlier one-storey building. It is constructed from local stone rubble, with some cut and squared work, and features a double Roman clay tiled roof with bargeboarded gables and brick chimney stacks. The house has two storeys and consists of two bays. It has early pattern casement windows that are three-light with iron-framed central opening lights and horizontal bars, all set beneath timber lintels. To the right of the second bay, there is a boarded door in a heavy frame, which is set in an open timber porch supported by two Tuscan columns that are said to have come from Wilton House near Salisbury in the 1950s. The porch has a tiled roof. In the north gable, there is a small two-light leaded casement under a timber lintel, and both gables display the earlier roof of the lower building. There is a small extension at the rear. The interior has not been seen.
