Shepherd'S Close

Shepherd's Close is a house dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, constructed of rubble stone with a thatched roof. It features coped gables and an ashlar stack at the east end of the original range, along with a lower east extension that has a stone tiled roof, a coped east gable, and an end wall stack. The building is one and a half storeys tall. The main range includes two gabled dormers, each with two-light recessed ovolo-moulded windows and hoodmoulds. There is a similar window on the ground floor to the left and an 18th-century three-light bead-moulded flush mullion window to the right. A central door is set in a gabled stone tiled porch, which also features a keyed oval light in the front wall and a door in the side wall. The 18th-century extension to the right has a single coped dormer gable and two-light cyma-moulded flush mullion windows, including one dormer gable and two on the ground floor, with the left one being a 20th-century replacement of a doorway, plus one on the east end wall, all with dripstones. Inside, the original range contains a large fireplace with a timber lintel.
