Keepers Cottage

Keepers Cottage is a pair of cottages, now combined into a single dwelling, dating to around 1690. The building is constructed of pennant rubble with brick gable stacks and a pantile roof, with a hipped roof on the left side. It has a single-depth plan. The two storeys are arranged with a three-window front. A plain door is located to the left of the centre, with a blocked door to the right. There are two-light and three-light casement windows, some with mullions; two windows are on the first floor beneath the eaves, with oak lintels. A 20th-century extension has been added to the left end. The interior features chamfered beams with cyma stops and ovolo-moulded mullions, and the earlier staircase in the right-hand cottage wound up to the right of the fireplace. The cottages have a historical connection to the Bristol writer and reformer Hannah More, who is believed to have started the first school in Brislington at this location.
