'(3) POST GREEN, house (968935), of two and three storeys with cellars, has brick walls and slate-covered roofs; it was built in the the third quarter of the 18th century and enlarged towards the S. at the end of the same century.
The N. front is symmetrical; the central doorway has a modern architrave and fanlight flanked by original fluted columns with reeded and fluted capitals carrying an entablature, which has been altered and heightened, and an original pediment reset; the windows are plain with double-hung sashes. The S. elevation is symmetrical and built in header bond with two large two-storey bay windows flanking a modern opening with french casements and fixed side lights; the lower windows to the bays have french casements, and across the whole front is an early 19th-century verandah with curved roof carried on cast-iron trellised standards and transoms. At the W. end is a lower wing which has been heightened and much altered.
Internally a central spine wall is the original S. outside wall. The older part of the house, to the N., has been modernised; to the S. is a central stairhall between drawing room and dining room. The drawing-room is octagonal and has a covered ceiling with a border enriched with garlands; the fireplace is flanked by Ionic pilasters, panelled and decorated, supporting a frieze under the mantelshelf decorated with lutes, garlands and allegorical figures. The dining room has an encriched ceiling cornice and a fireplace with moulded surround with roundels at the corners. The foregoing are of c. 1800. Parts only of the staircase of c. 1800 survive, with open string, turned newels and plain square balusters.'
