Summary
Building dates to at least the early-mid 19th century and is depicted on the 1843 Tithe Map as a dwelling. Appears to have been greatly modified. Relationship with the Post Office next door unclear; this may have been the Post House. Building is rendered and shares a single span slate roof with 6 Fore Street to the right and part of the former post office building to the left.

Image dated August 2016 shows this building is small, with a single window at ground floor and first floor level and looks to have been much modernised, including loft conversion. Above the ground floor window is a sign that reads – ‘The Old Post Office’. It's unclear whether this property also includes part of the structure on its left, under the same roof and including a door and window at ground level and a window above in the slate-hung upper part of the building. Otherwise, this house has no obvious door.
Ordnance Survey, 2018, MasterMap 2018 (Cartographic). SDV360652.
The property has a small frontage onto the street but has been extended back a fair distance. Mastermap has it marked as 'The Old Post Office'.
