Description
South-Haa in North Roe is a pair of traditional houses built around 1900, featuring a symmetrical design with a single storey and attic, organized into three bays each. The southern building houses a post office, creating a near-symmetrical six-bay group. The exterior walls are harled and painted.
The east elevation, which is the principal façade, displays a six-bay arrangement divided into two symmetrical groups of three. The left group, which includes the post office, has a central 2-leaf vertically-boarded timber door with a 2-pane fanlight above it, along with shop windows on either side. The outer bays feature gabled dormers with gabletted and bracketed skewputts that break the eaves at the first floor. The right group mirrors this symmetry, featuring a gabled vertically-boarded timber porch with a window on the east side and a door on the south side in the central bay, along with regular fenestration in the flanking bays and matching gabled dormers in the outer bays.
On the south gable, there is a window located to the left at ground level, and a window is centered in the end wall of a lean-to that extends to the left. The north gable features a lean-to addition with a door and window on the east and north sides respectively, along with a single attic window to the right and a large single-flue wallhead stack at the skew of the rear lean-to.
The windows on the principal and side elevations are 4-pane timber sash and case, while the shop windows, porch, and north lean-to have 4-pane timber fixed-lights. The roof is covered with grey slate, and it includes profiled cast-iron gutters with decorative brackets, along with cast-iron downpipes that feature hoppers and decorative brackets. The harled apex stacks have concrete copes and circular cans on the principal gables and party wall, with the south stack corbelled out at the base.
