The Old Post Office

The Old Post Office is a former post office, house, and cart house consisting of three blocks. The building is primarily constructed of whitewashed rubble stone and features slate roofs. The central block, which was the former post office and stores, is tall and gable-fronted with slate-hung upper floors and a brick chimney on the right roof slope. It has two storeys and an attic, with slate-hung upper floors on the front and sides. The attic features a nine-pane sash window, while the first floor has a broad small-paned triple casement window. The ground floor includes a broad shopfront with slate steps leading up to a double shop front that has a recessed centre half-glazed double door with an overlight. The display windows on either side of the door have six large panes at the front and small panes above, with canted sides featuring two large panes and small panes above. The shopfront has a thin renewed fascia supported by five brackets, with the outer brackets being double and set above thin strips on each side of the shopfront.

The rear gable is also whitewashed and features an attic six-pane fixed light with stone voussoirs, a similar small-paned triple casement window on the first floor, and a similar window on the ground floor. To the left of the central block is a two-storey house set in a small railed forecourt, which has a wide rendered stone stack on the left. This house has a two-window range of plate glass sashes, two small windows above, a longer ground floor window to the left, and a door to the right that was formerly a four-panel door, with the upper panels now glazed. There is a 20th-century flat porch, a small lean-to on the left, and a rear wing at right angles that has a wide whitewashed stone end chimney and two 20th-century first floor gable windows.

To the right of the central block is a longer two-storey stores block made of whitewashed rubble. This block features three square upper windows, with two on the left and one on the right. The left side has two nine-pane windows, while the right one has a six-pane window, all with slate sills. The ground floor on the left has a double-leaf door with an overlight that includes marginal glazing bars. Next to it is a fixed large four-pane window, and to the right is a broad depressed-arched cart entry with stone voussoirs and a keystone, which is accessed through iron gates. The right end gable has overhanging eaves, a part-blocked loft door, and a rear outshut built close to the bank. The rear outshut features one small-paned casement pair on the rear right.

The building is not available for inspection.
