Description
The Old Post Office Restaurant is a two-part building with distinct architectural features. The northern section has a street-facing elevation clad in cement render and topped with a slate gabled roof, which is flanked by red brick chimney stacks. It stands two storeys tall and features four sash windows with three panes each on the first floor. On the ground floor, there is a five-pane wide sash window on each side of the entrance, which is adorned with a stone porch and a six-panelled door.
The southern part of the building is a single storey. Its street elevation also has a slate gabled roof. The former doorway on the left has been converted into a window, while to the right, there is a 3-light stone mullion-and-transom window. A wall letterbox with the GR cipher is located to the right of this window.
At the rear, there is a conservatory and other additions from the 1990s that were made during its conversion to a restaurant. Inside, the hallway features a stone flagged floor and an archway, along with a blocked window opening in the north wall. The north ground floor room previously contained a winding wooden staircase against the north wall and has ceiling beams. Additionally, there is a former dairy wing located in the rear wing to the east of the hallway, and upstairs, some roof trusses are partly visible.
