Description
The building is a former Post Office, constructed with whitewashed squared rubble stone on the east facade. It features a roof made of small slates and has a single whitewashed stone-capped chimney on the ridge, located to the left of the center. The structure is two storeys high and has a distinctive arrangement of windows. The ground floor has four 12-pane sash windows, with two on each side of an arched door. Above each set of ground floor windows, there are two smaller 12-pane sashes, and in the center, there is a small-paned arched window with a radiating-bar head, positioned higher and breaking through the eaves beneath a central pedimental gable. The windows have slab lintels, except for the arches which feature stone voussoirs, and there are slate sills and a ledged door. To the left, there is an attractively engraved oval slate plaque displaying the 'G VI R' monogram. The end walls and rear of the building are utilitarian and rendered, with later plastic windows added.
