Description
The Post Office, along with its front boundary wall, is a detached house built in the early 19th century. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with the front elevation rendered and color-washed. The building features a hipped plain clay tile roof and brick chimney stacks. It has a double roof plan, is two storeys tall with attics, and consists of three bays. The design includes a plinth and eaves course, with two-storey angled bay windows in the outer bays. These bay windows have margined sash windows set with fluted corner pieces and lead flat roofs. Above, there are similar windows in the upper bay, which are located under a length of parapet that possibly replaces a pediment. Each bay has semi-circular roofed dormer windows. The lower bay features a part-glazed door in a heavy frame, slightly projecting and covered by a flat lead and timber roof. A letterbox is set into the right-hand bay.
In front of the house, there is a stone wall approximately 850 mm high, made of squared stone with plain coping. The wall sweeps up to central gate piers topped with pyramidal caps. The plain wrought iron gates have barbed spearpoint rails and curved top rails, enhancing the setting of the house and the streetscape.
