No. 26 Wellington Road, Rhyl is a three storey townhouse constructed from red brick bonded by Portland cement in a common bond. The principle elevation lies to the southeast and fronts on to Wellington Road. The elevation includes arched sash and bay sash windows. To the rear a later two-storey extension has been added.

The former Post Office building was once part of a terraced row, although the buildings to the immediate northeast have now been demolished to make way for a car park. The rear yard of the building was originally accessed via a passageway between the buildings at the southwest gable but which has been turned into a single storey gallery, now vacant. The ground floor principle rooms have until recently formed a café tea room but are also now vacant.

The building is first shown on the Ordnance Survey map of 1871 but is not shown on the earlier tithe map of 1839, and is therefore of mid-Victorian date.

There are plans to renovate the building in 2024 as part of a regeneration scheme.
