What is recorded here

Attached four-bay two-storey rendered house, built c. 1850. Pitched slate roof, clay ridge tiles, unpainted smooth-rendered corbelled chimneystacks, half-round cast-iron gutters on eaves corbel course, cast-iron hopper and downpipe. Unpainted roughcast walling. Square-headed window openings, smooth-rendered reveals, limestone sills, painted six-over-six timber sash windows, some modified. Square-headed door openings, plain-glazed overlights, painted vertically-sheeted timber doors. Street fronted, rubble stone wall projects forward from south-west corner with gateway containing corrugated-iron gates to west leading to rear yard, slightly higher two-storey building to east.
This fine little house at one time functioned as the village post office and evidence can still be seen in one window where the post box was installed. The survival of the early fenestration, together with the eccentric elevational arrangement, adds to its architectural character and charm.
