Description
No. 44 High Street is a cottage from the Shuttleworth Estate, marked with a plaque showing the year 1887 and the Shuttleworth emblem. The building is constructed of red brick, with the upper part featuring colourwashed roughcast render and applied timber framing. It has a clay tile roof adorned with bands of fishscale tiles, along with clay ridge cresting and finials. The cottage is designed in an L-plan, consisting of one storey and attics. All the windows are casement style with glazing bars; the left-hand projecting gable has a three-light window, with the lower light under a cambered head and the upper light beneath a sloping tiled hood supported by brackets. The right-hand block features a lean-to trellis porch. There are two projecting red brick chimneys on the north elevation, one of which retains an ornate Tudor-style pot. The cottage is included for its group value.
