Single storey, the roof on deep flat eaves, and the right end gable slate-hung in similar slates, swept-out at base over flat eaves carried around from front wall. Symmetrical front of two wide neo-Georgian bowed shop-windows of 36 panes, with painted roughcast below. The right window has glazing bars framing a round opening for the office clock. Centre 8-panel door in moulded architrave. Raised plinth. Attached to right is roughcast gatepier with painted ball finial.
Interior
Interior altered.
Reason for designation
Included for its special architectural interest of definite quality and character as a well-designed inter-war post office in an unusual vernacular Georgian style.
