Statement of Interest

One of the most prominent buildings fronting Coldingham's Bridge Street. Although altered to accommodate a Post Office (formerly a shop), the house remains essentially intact with good details - the shop front itself being a good example of its type. It is the scrolled skewputts which suggest the building may date from before 1800.
