Shrub House

Shrub House is a dwelling and former shop, likely built in the 17th century with a 19th-century addition. The building features a rendered timber frame and a colourwashed brick extension, topped with black and red pantile roofs. It has an L-shaped plan created by the early 19th-century addition, which includes a staircase tower at the re-entrant angle. The house is one and a half storeys tall and has a 19th-century shop front on the corner, featuring a glazed door flanked by three-light mullion and transom shop windows, along with plain fascias. On the Mill Road facade, there are two 19th-century two-light casement windows, and the north gable-end has one sash window with glazing bars. The extension includes a raised and fielded panelled door, one window with glazing bars, and overhanging eaves supported by paired and shaped brackets. The rear facade has interesting fenestration, including a semicircular headed window with glazing bars in the staircase tower, some 18th-century metal casements with leaded glazing, and one sash window with glazing bars beneath a skewback arch.
