Shepherd'S House

Shepherd's House is a house dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century. It is clad with channelled render, featuring a slate roof at the front and plain tiles at the rear. The building is double depth, consisting of two storeys and an attic, with a dentilled wooden eaves cornice and a mansard roof. There are brick stacks located towards the rear on both the right and left sides. A flat-roofed three-light dormer is positioned towards the centre of the roof.

The front facade has a regular arrangement of three windows, each containing 16-pane sashes set in open boxes. The tall ground-floor windows are adorned with shallow moulded cornices. A central panelled door is topped by a semi-circular fanlight with radiating glazing bars. The porch features columns with reeded capitals and a flat corniced hood.

To the right and left of the main house, there are two short conjoined rear wings. These wings have a chequered red and grey brick ground floor, tile-hung first floor, and roofs that are hipped to the rear. Attached to the left side is a former stable that is set back from the front elevation; it has a ground floor of painted brick and a tile-hung first floor. This stable is two storeys with a garret and has a half-hipped gambrel roof, with the lower pitch covered in plain tiles and the upper pitch in slate. The rear of the stable features irregular fenestration, including two small four-pane sashes and a long multipane window on the first floor, along with boarded and garage doors on the ground floor.

Inside, the house has a central staircase with stick balusters. There is a central doorway between the front and rear ranges on each floor, also featuring a semi-circular fanlight with radiating glazing bars. The interior includes panelled doors and fireplaces with grates dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century in each room. The ceilings have reeded borders, and the rear left room has a stone flag floor. The property backs onto a churchyard.
