Description
The Old Post is a two-storey house built from white-painted rubble stone, topped with a concrete tile roof. It features a rendered painted left end stack and a ridge stack towards the right end. The house has a three-window range set to the left, with an outbuilding under the same roof to the right. The windows are casement pairs with small panes and stone sills, while the lower windows have cambered heads. There is a 20th-century half-glazed centre door with a 20th-century timber hood. The spacing of the bays is uneven, with one on the left and two on the right; the left ground floor window is larger than the right one and has a brick head, whereas the right window features stone voussoirs.
On the left end wall, there is a lean-to made of painted brick with double boarded garage doors. The roof of the lean-to continues back as an outshut to a rear wing, which has a stack at the south end. The east side of the outshut has a door and a long window to the left. The front wall extends continuously to the outbuilding on the right, which has one ledged door at the extreme right with a timber lintel and 20th-century windows in the end gable and rubble stone lean-to addition.
The interior was not inspected, but an investigation in 1977 revealed beams in the left part, rough joists in the right, and collar trusses in the roof with wide thin blades.
