Post office reborn

The old post office had ceased to be operational for many years and had been converted entirely into a dwelling. The odd bay frontage didn’t sit well with the existing elevation. Added to which an inappropriate porch and material additions meant a re-think was necessary. We raised the single storey original post office shop up to x2 storeys and created a subservient pitched roof, to match the host dwelling. The brickwork, bond and mortar will match the main dwelling. The rear elevation has also been reconfigured to make the best of the double gabled roof but also to create a third gable, forming a larger first floor layout. We are now in for planning and progressing through the 8 week determination period. Post office reborn…
