Description
The building is a house and shop, now functioning as a house and post office. It has a core dating from the 16th or 17th century and was refronted in the early 19th century. The exterior features stucco that is scribed to imitate ashlar, a pantile roof with coped verges, and end brick stacks. The structure is two storeys high and has two bays. On the first floor, there are tall two-light casements designed to resemble sash windows, while the left side of the ground floor has a 12-pane sash window, although some glazing bars are missing. The right side of the ground floor features a double shop front with a large nine-light casement on each side of a recessed half-glazed door, topped with a transom light and flanked by narrow pilasters that support a moulded cornice. To the left, there is a further door opening with a 20th-century glazed door. Inside, there is a chamfered ceiling beam.
