Description
Sheepcote Cottage is a cottage dating from the 17th century, with a late 19th or early 20th century extension on the right. The building is timber framed, covered in whitewashed brick and render at the bottom, and tile hung above, all under a plain tiled roof. It has a three-bay end chimney plan and stands two storeys high, featuring a prominent 17th-century offset end stack on the left. The cottage has 20th-century wood-framed, diamond-pane leaded casement windows, with three on the first floor and three below, plus one window on each floor in the right-hand extension. There is a 20th-century door to the left of centre, set in a 20th-century gabled porch with a ribbed and moulded surround. Inside, the cottage retains ceiling frames and some wall partitioning, as well as a salt cupboard and a chimney window.
