Description
Shrubs Corner is a cottage that appears to date from the 17th century. It is a two-storey, two-window structure. The roof is steeply pitched and tiled, sloping lower at the rear. The end chimneys have been partly rebuilt. The upper floor is tile hung, while the ground floor is brick. There are square-paned casement windows. A square bay window is situated at ground floor level on the left. Some visible timber framing with plaster infill is present on the ground floor of the right return, with weatherboarding above. Modern rear extensions have been added.
