Description
The Post Office in Oakhill is a house and post office built around 1850. It features a rendered exterior with dressed quoins and a slate roof, along with paired hexagonal ashlar stacks at each gable. Designed in a Gothic style, the building is two stories high and has three bays. Each bay contains two-light mullioned windows, with each light featuring a depressed four-centred head and a moulded cornice above. The central entrance has a depressed four-centred arch door opening framed by a chamfered stone surround. It includes a broad four-panelled door with a fanlight above, accessed by three stone steps. A 20th-century post box is set into the wall to the left of the entrance.
