Shooters Cottage

Shooters Cottage is a house that was formerly two cottages, dating from the 17th century and repaired around 1983. It features plastered cob on rubble footings, with stone rubble or cob stacks topped with 20th-century brick, and a thatch roof. Originally, it consisted of a pair of one-room plan cottages facing southeast onto the road. The right (northwestern) room has a rear corner stack, while the left room has an end stack and a secondary rubble outshot on its end.

The building is two storeys high and has a balanced two-window front with late 19th-century and circa 1983 casements, along with a pair of central plank doors. The left wall on the first floor has collapsed and been rebuilt around 1983. The right first-floor window features a half gable with thatch eaves lifting over it. The roof is hipped to the right, and although the main block on the left is gable-ended, the thatch continues down over the outshot.

Inside, the cottage retains much of its 17th-century carpentry detail, with plainly-finished crossbeams in both rooms. Both fireplaces are blocked by 20th-century grates. The roof in the left room was replaced around 1983, and the roof truss in the right cottage is boxed in, although its shape suggests it might be a jointed cruck truss. The roof space is inaccessible.
