Description

High Haven and Horseshoe Cottage are two adjoining cottages, likely built in the mid-19th century. They are constructed from plastered cob and rubble, with a rubble stack that has been topped with 19th and 20th-century brick, and feature a thatched roof. The cottages face south and have mirror-image plans on either side of a central axial stack, each consisting of a single room with small outer entrance lobbies. There are service outshots at the rear. High Haven is located on the left (west) and Horseshoe Cottage on the right (east). The buildings are two storeys tall and present an almost symmetrical four-window front, featuring similar late 19th and 20th-century two-light casements with glazing bars. Both cottages have 20th-century thatch-roofed porches, with Horseshoe Cottage also having a gable-roofed porch supported by rustic posts. The pitch of the rear roof extends over the outshots. The interior has not been inspected.
