Post Office (Rhyderonnen)

The Post Office at Rhyderonnen is part of a fine early 19th-century terrace located on Cottage Row, which also includes an inn, two cottages, and a small stable. The inn is slightly older than the post office, as indicated by the visible joints between the two buildings. This two-storey terrace is constructed of rubble with a colourwash finish and features a slate roof, along with rubble stacks that have coursed stone tabling and drips.

The inn has a three-window front that is offset, showcasing Victorian tall narrow horned sash windows with three panes over two, and vertical glazing bars. The windows have cambered heads made of stone voussoirs and stone sills, while the central boarded door also has a similar cambered head. To the right, there is a later lean-to extension with a boarded door and a six-pane steel window above. The return elevation of the inn features a sash window that matches the front, with brick reveals and head.

To the left of the inn, the terrace continues with a seven-window range, where the ground floor openings have round-arched heads with stone voussoirs and blank tympana. The post office has a ground floor window with wooden shutters and a four-pane horned sash. The cottages have ground floor windows that are three over two pane sashes (horned), along with boarded doors and steps. The upper windows have cambered heads with stone voussoirs, alternatingly blind. The first floor of the shop retains an original 12-pane hornless sash, while the rest are Victorian sashes similar to those below, all with stone sills. A G.R post box is located towards the left end of the terrace.

At the left end, there is a lower two-storey hayloft and stable, with a rubble rear and appropriate recent lean-tos made of rubble and corrugated iron. The inn has a tiny ground floor casement window, and the post office features a raised doorway with wooden steps, a stone voussoired cambered head, and a boarded door. The post office has four-pane casements on both floors, with the upper window having a head like a door and a stone lintel above the other.

In the setting, low whitewashed rubble walls run across the lane, accompanied by a mounting block and gardens behind. There is a whitewashed double toilet in the southeast corner of the garden, which has a single-slope corrugated roof and belonged to the former schoolroom (village hall) opposite, with long fore-walls that divided the sexes. A single toilet to the south is similarly built with a slate roof.
