Description
The Post Office Stores is a 19th-century brick building with slate roofs, featuring broad overhanging eaves and brick axial and end wall stacks. It stands two storeys high and consists of two buildings arranged in a five-window range, each symmetrically designed with a central entrance. The doorways have moulded architraves supported by slim brackets beneath an entablature hood. The farmhouse on the right has a six-panelled door, while the shop has a glazed panelled doorway. Both entrances are topped with traceried overlights. The flanking windows are small-paned iron casements with mullions and transoms, displaying interlaced tracery in the upper lights, although there is a later canted bay window to the right of the farmhouse doorway. The first floor features similar windows, including a two-light window above the door of the wider farmhouse. The window surrounds have stressed brick quoins and rubbed brick heads, with brick angle quoins. The property known as Tan y Fron is enclosed by iron railings with twisted finials in the front garden.
