Shute Cottage

Shute Cottage is a cottage that likely dates from the late 17th century to early 18th century and was modernized in the mid-20th century. It is constructed of plastered cob on rubble footings, with what is probably a cob stack topped with 20th-century brick and a thatched roof. The cottage has a small two-room plan and faces south-west. It features a main projecting stack at the right (south-east) end and an inserted stack at the left end. There is a 20th-century outshot on the right end. The building has two storeys and a two-window front with 20th-century iron-framed casements that lack glazing bars. The first-floor windows are adorned with thatch eyebrows above them. A 20th-century door is located on the right, accompanied by a flat-roofed porch also from the 20th century. A central full-height 20th-century buttress is present. The roof is gable-ended, and the outshot has a corrugated iron monopitch roof that includes one 20th-century iron-framed casement. The interior has not been inspected.
