Description
The Old Post Office and Post Office Store in Tynron is an earlier 19th-century, two-storey, three-bay house with a single-storey cottage range on either side. The cottages may have been built around the same time but were raised later in the century. The building is constructed from whinstone rubble with red ashlar margins. The house features two inner doors, with a shop on the left side. The northern range contains two centre-doored cottages, while the southern range has four two-bay cottages. All windows, including the shop window, have 12 panes, and the other windows are all sash types. The building has a saw-toothed westmost skew, coped end stacks, and slated roofs.
