Description
Old Shepherd's Cottage is a former pair of cottages that has been converted into a single dwelling. It dates from the late 17th century and has been extended to the south with a hipped roof, undergoing significant changes including extensive refenestration and modernization. The building features rubble stone walls and dressed stone walls that are colourwashed. The roof is thatched, hipped at the south end and gabled at the north end, with rebuilt brick stacks located at the apex of the south hip and on the north gable end.
The cottage is 1½ storeys tall and has four windows with irregular spacing, primarily consisting of two-light 20th-century wooden casements that include glazing bars and wooden cills. There are also eyebrow dormers with two-light wooden casements featuring glazing bars. The front door is a 20th-century plank door with one glazed light, accompanied by a modern porch. The rear elevation has an irregular arrangement of five windows of the same type, along with two eyebrow dormers above.
Inside, the north end room contains open fireplaces with 18th-century brick jambs, one of which has a bread oven in the right jamb and a segmental chamfered wooden lintel. The south end also has an open fireplace with rendered brick jambs and a chamfered wooden lintel, along with a bread oven in the right jamb. The ceiling beams are straight chamfered.
