Description
The Old Post Office is a house that features white-painted stucco and a slate roof with close eaves. It has painted red brick end stacks, with the one on the right shared with No 8, which this building used to serve as a service range. The left side has quoins that match those on the right end of No 8. The house is two storeys high and has a one-window range of 12-pane sash windows. The ground floor sash window is cambered-headed and slightly smaller than the one above it. There is a 20th-century six-panel door to the right. The house also includes the right bay of the main house (No 8), which features a canted bay window and a 12-pane hornless sash window. The interior was not available for inspection at the time of the resurvey in December 1999.
