Description
The Old Post Office is a two-storey, two-window house built of rubble stone, featuring larger quoins and a slate roof. It has a 19th-century brick stack on the left and a 20th-century brick stack on the right. The upper storey includes six-pane sash windows set beneath wooden lintels and with stone sills. On the lower right, there is a similar window under a stone lintel, next to a boarded door in a doorway that has been enlarged from an earlier design, with the right-hand jamb and part of a segmental head still visible. Further to the left, there is an enlarged window that once lit the former post office, which is also under a wooden lintel, along with an inserted boarded door at the left end.
The right gable end, which faces the churchyard, features two-light mullioned windows on both storeys. A rear wing, offset to the right side of the house and set back from the gable end, has a three-light window with iron bars under a concrete lintel, facing the churchyard. A lean-to has been added to the gable end of this wing, covered with concrete pantiles. Additionally, there is an added rear outshut on the left side of the house. The building has not been inspected.
