The old shop is a large detached stone building on the village square with a basement, two main floors and a substantial attic. It is a Grade 1 listed building with a number of unique features, the listing relating to elements of the exterior and interior.

The property incorporates the Village Store/Post Office, which is largely unchanged from the 1800s, storage space and substantial residential accommodation.

The intention is to convert the property into one residential holiday unit offering 8 to 10 bed spaces and to refurbish the Old Village Shop and stores as a visitor attraction, portraying a village store at the end of the 18th century.

The village shop/post office takes up a substantial proportion of the ground floor and retains its original cabinets and counters. An adjoining store room provides access to a further first floor store and above that to most of the main attic (the remaining attic is a bedroom accessible from the main living accommodation).
