Description
Reed House, originally listed as the Post Office, is a house that now serves as both a residence and a post office. It dates from the mid-18th century and features a rendered exterior with freestone dressings, alternating chamfered quoins, a moulded cornice, and a parapet with coping. The roof is slate, and there are brick stacks. The building has a symmetrical classical frontage, standing two storeys high with six bays. It includes a pair of 12-pane sash windows set in moulded architraves, along with eight 20th-century four-pane casements also in architraves. The central door opening is topped by a triangular pediment and flanked by pilasters, featuring a six-panelled door. The interior has been altered, but some original wooden cornice remains on the ground floor ceiling.
