Full Description
The building was annotated part of the White Hart Inn in the first edition of the 25 inch Ordnance Survey map, surveyed in 1888. {1} The second edition of the same map, revised in 1905, annotates the building as a post office. {2} The building is currently a house and its past use as a post office can be seen in its name: 'Post House'. The house is attached to another house named 'Rustics' which was the former White Hart Inn (MLI126849), which the Post House was probably part of until its conversion into a post office. The Post House is two storeys high and is constructed of brick with a yellow render. The pitched pantile roof has a gable red brick chimney stack; the rear range of the house has a flat roof. The front elevation consists of an entrance porch with a small brown uPVC window and two large brown uPVC casement windows, one on the ground floor and another above this one on the first floor. There is a public letter box located outside of the house which is still in use, a vestigial service for a location which once had a post office. {3}
