The Shores Farmhouse

The Shores Farmhouse is a small farmhouse dating from the mid-17th century. It is constructed of plastered cob on rubble footings, with exposed stone rubble at the right and rear. The farmhouse features a stone rubble stack topped with a 19th-century brick chimney shaft and has a thatched roof covered by corrugated iron.

The building has a two-room plan, facing south, which includes a small entrance lobby and stairs at the right (east) end. The left (west) end contains a large heated room and a small unheated room, with a large lateral stack projecting to the rear. It is two storeys high with attics in the roof space. The front has two windows, which are late 19th to early 20th-century casements with glazing bars. There is a third first-floor window that has been blocked at the right end above a plank door in a chamfered door frame. The attics are lit by small casements in the gable ends, and the wall plate with a chamfered soffit is visible under the front eaves.

Inside, the main room features a chamfered and scroll-stopped crossbeam on the right and a roughly finished crossbeam on the left. The fireplace is blocked, but an oven on the left side is indicated by an external projection. There is a cream alcove to the right of the fireplace. The roof has not been inspected.
