Description
Shellow Cottages is a pair of cottages, likely originally a single house, dating from the mid 17th century. They are constructed with a timber frame and plastered exterior, featuring 20th-century decorative pargetting. The roof is covered with plain concrete tiles, hipped at both ends, and has a large original square chimney stack in the center. The ground floor of part of the frontage includes some painted brick. The windows are 20th-century casements, and each cottage has a 19th-century door surround with a flat hood supported by imitation 17th-century scroll brackets. There is also a 20th-century boiler flue on the west end. Inside, the cottages reveal four bays of 'box frame' timber framing made from good quality timber, although they lack jowls.
