Grade II Listed mid 19th century house. 'Camelot' owned by Mr J Guppy was built about 1840 and purchased by the post office in mid to late 1927. Archibald Bulloch was employed to design the conversion to a post office that was subsequently opened on 8th December 1929. The Grade II Listed K6 telephone kiosk was installed at the same time. At the end the yard was to be an engineering-room, and garage to accommodate six cars but the Post Office had only four vans at the time.
