Description

Rose Lodge, also known as the Old Post Office, is a 2-storey building constructed of whitewashed brick, featuring pedimented gables and a slate roof. The main elevation faces the road and includes a dentilled brick cornice. The ground floor openings have been altered, but two doors remain in their original positions alongside two later windows. There is an inset red cast-iron GR letter box that dates from its conversion to a post office. On the first floor, there are two cast-iron windows with 19th-century Gothick tracery. The right-hand return elevation has been significantly altered with later windows and shows evidence of blocked earlier openings that resemble the pointed arched windows on the front elevation. There is also a rear extension from the 20th century. The left-hand return elevation features single-storey lean-to additions and two brick stacks, one of which has diagonal chimney pots that may relate to an earlier building phase. The interior was not accessible at the time of the survey in October 1994.
