History of Post Office Cottages

Listed Building

Pair of Cottages. C18. Timber-framed, rendered.

When a post office, the left hand half was used as a home, the right hand as the post-office.

A weathered thatched roof slopes down to white walls with a grey-framed dormer window on the left and a small section of gutter.

The fibre-glass imitation thatch is believed to be found on only three other buildings in the UK.
