Post Office, formerly 1 property with The Old Post Cottage (qv). The 2 properties
are said to have been a farmhouse, 'Chubbs Farm', in the centre of the village.
Circa late C16 origins, thorough alterations of the C20. Whitewashed rendered cob on
stone rubble footings, thatched roof gabled at left end, front lateral granite stack
with coped set-offs and a tall shaft, left gable end stack, rear left wing with
lateral stack has a thatched roof with a hipped end.
Internal alterations make the original plan difficult to determine but it seems
possible that the present building was the hall, heated by the front lateral stack, a
narrow inner room to the left and a parlour to the rear of the inner room while the
Old Post Cottage was service end and the kitchen. The property was divided into 2 in
1971.
2 storeys. Asymmetrical 3-window front with a large front lateral 3-window front
with a large front lateral stack with off-sets and an impressively tall granite
chimney shaft. On the ground floor to the right of the stack a large C20 glazed shop
door. Second C20 entrance on front at extreme left. Between the left-hand door and
the stack is a 3-light casement, 8 panes per light; 2 first floor 2-light casements,
6 panes per light. Small first floor 4-pane window to right of stack.
Interior An oak plank and muntin screen divides the inner room from the hall.
Roofspace not inspected but may be of interest.
