Description

The Post Office is a three-storey building constructed in Bath stone with an ashlar facade and a slate roof, featuring a parapet and an ornate cornice. It is designed in the Edwardian Baroque style and has five bays. The cornice is decorated with modillions, an egg and dart motif, and acanthus roundels at each end.

The second-floor windows have moulded stone surrounds and contain 9-pane horned sashes. The first-floor windows are 12-pane horned sashes set in moulded, shouldered surrounds, each topped with large triple keystones that extend into the bases of open curved pediments. The upper floor windows have moulded sills. A band on the first floor is inscribed with "POST OFFICE" and is positioned above the large keystones of the ground floor openings.

In the second bay from the left, there are four 12-pane sash windows and a door, all within bolection-moulded surrounds that feature triple keystones. The windows have apron panels below the sills. The door is located beneath a 6-pane fixed overlight and has a granite step. Notably, the second bay from the right contains a brass post box set into the wall below the window. Historical photographs indicate that the right-hand window was originally a door, which had a stone open pediment on scroll consoles above the doorcase, with the letter box situated in the middle window.

The ground floor has been altered.
