We understand that the adjoining building to the right, known as the Shop is not listed and was originally the village post office and still retains its early Victorian post box set into the wall. Subsequently this was used as an office and more recently staff accommodation.

To the first floor are three double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The current master bedroom is accessed through what was formally the third single bedroom and occupies the whole of the first floor of the adjoining shop.
The Shop comprises a front reception room with the rear section partitioned off to form a small single bedroom and a bathroom leading off the rear lobby.
