Description

No. 78 Shellfield Road is a house that likely dates from around 1800 and has been altered over time. It features white painted render, which is probably over brick, and has a slate roof. The building is single-storey with a three-unit plan.

The exterior includes a three-window range and a square-headed doorway that is aligned with a ridge chimney situated between the first and second windows. The windows are small-paned, top-hung casements added in the 20th century. No. 76 is adjacent to the right.

Although the interior has not been inspected, this house is part of a group of similar homes on Shellfield Road, all of which have undergone various alterations but still represent the pre-industrial character of the area.
