7/102 Post Office with Postmaster's House and attached house to right

GV II

Two houses incorporating sub postoffice, 1890's, by Douglas and Fordham for the 1st Duke of Westminster. Brown brick with slightly projecting stone dressings: the brickwork was originally rendered white. Westmorland green slate roofs. 2 storeys, 7 windows; 2 half-octagon 2-storey hipped bays, central, stone coped front gable, right. 4 shaped brick chimneys. Flat-roofed open porch on carved consoles, left; gabled half-timbered porch on shaped brackets, right; sandstone doorsteps. Queen Anne timber casements of 3 lights with leaded glazing stand proud of wall face on shaped wooden brackets. Shaped framed and boarded doors, part glazed with 4 small panes. The simple back suggests an older building reworked by Douglas and Fordham. Interior: Not inspected. A good composition of the Vernacular Revival.
