Description
Bayford Post Office is a house and shop dated 1679, with most of its features from the 19th century. It is constructed from local rubble with a rendered plinth and has a Welsh slate roof over base courses of plain tiles, topped with coped gables and brick end chimney stacks. The building has two storeys and five bays with irregular window arrangements. It features 4-pane sash windows that are set flush with timber moulded surrounds, while the lower windows are under exposed timber lintels. In bay 3, there are 2+4+2 pane oriel windows on wooden brackets at both levels. Between bays 3 and 4, there is a plain glazed door in a simple opening. A slate-roofed porch, supported by heavy timber brackets of 19th-century character, spans the lower sections of bays 3 and 4. Additionally, there is a letter box located between bays 4 and 5. At the rear, there is a garage with a plain tile hipped roof. Bayford Post Office is the westernmost building in a row of three cottages.
