Shellow Cross Farm Cottages

Shellow Cross Farm Cottages are a pair of handed two-storey cottages dating from the mid-17th century. They are constructed with a timber frame and plastered exterior, featuring black boarded ground floors. The cottages have a hipped roof made of machine-made clay plain tiles, which includes a large, square central ridge line stack and a pair of early 20th-century stacks on the rear roof slope. Each cottage has identical gabled two-storey rear extensions and lean-to black boarded extensions at both ends. The front of the cottages displays four two-light 19th-century casement windows with small panes, positioned above similar casements and central doorcases that have flat projecting hoods for each unit. The interior reveals a well-framed structure without jowls, featuring a central stack bay and some reused timber. The spine beam includes a moulded impost with two large cymas.
