Shead Of Dines

Shead of Dines is a 17th or 18th century timber-framed cottage located on the south side of Dedham High Street. The building has two storeys and attics, featuring a ridged and gabled roof covered with peg tiles. The timber frame is exposed on both the side and street frontages, and the cottage is four bays long with a plain red brick chimney stack positioned roughly in the center, supported by primary wall bracking.

The front elevation includes a pair of small paned casements in the gable, a pair of small paned sash windows on the first storey, and a semi-hexagonal bay on the ground storey that has small paned sashes, with clear lower halves. This bay is topped with a flat-leafed roof that extends to form a hood over the door, supported on one console.
