Description
Shapland’s Cottage is an 18th-century cottage, extended in the mid-20th century. It is constructed of plastered cob and rubble, with brick underpinning and buttressing. The cottage has a thatched roof, gabled at each end. The main part of the building is two storeys high, with two rooms and stacks, alongside a 20th-century extension to the rear. The ground floor features a door on the left side, two central three-light casement windows, and a two-light casement window to the right, which may be where a second former door once stood. The first floor has a single horizontally sliding sash window to the left of centre. The right-side gable was rebuilt around 1965 during road widening. The original cottage was likely formed from two single-room cottages, with a symmetrical façade. It is included on the list for group value.
