Description
Shellwood Cross Cottage is a house dating from the 17th century, with a rear extension added in the 20th century. The cottage has a timber frame, which is clad below in red and blue brick, and features diamond-point tile hanging above on the plinth and on the left-hand return front. The frame on the right-hand return front consists of thin scantling with brick infilling. The roofs of the rear extensions are plain tiled, while the front roof is covered with graded Horsham slabs.
The building has two storeys and three framed bays, with a square chimney stack from the 19th century rebuilt at the rear of the ridge on the left. On the first floor, there are outer two-light windows and a central three-light casement. The ground floor features outer two-light casement windows and a four-light window to the right of centre, along with a part-glazed door to the left of centre. The right-hand return front displays two gables with queen-post trusses on the left-hand gable, and the rear extensions have large leaded casement windows.
