Description

Shinner's Bridge Cottages is a terrace of three cottages built around 1840, with later additions at the rear from the late 19th century. The cottages are constructed from local limestone rubble and feature a steeply pitched slate roof with gable ends, using scantle slates at the rear. The chimney stacks are rendered, with axial and gable end stacks; the two axial stacks each have two later red brick diagonally set shafts.

The layout consists of three cottages, with the end cottages (numbers 1 and 3) each having a two-room single-depth plan and services located in rear outshuts. The center cottage (number 2) is two rooms deep, with the front room projecting and services in a later addition at the rear.

The cottages are two storeys high and display a symmetrical arrangement of windows, with a 2:1:2 window range and the center window set in a gabled projection. The first-floor windows on the right and left are in small gables, all featuring slated verges. The three ground floor windows and the center first-floor window have three lights, while the four first-floor windows on the sides have two lights. All windows are original, made with ovolo moulded wooden mullions and contain casements with glazing bars, set in deeply chamfered openings. The integrally chamfered lintels have mason's mitres, and some windows retain simple hoodmoulds.

There are three doorways: one at each end of the front and a third on the left-hand return of the central projection. These doorways have deep chamfered rendered jambs that continue into chamfered four-centred arches with wooden lintels. The end doorways feature stone voussoirs above and have plank doors with cover moulds, while the top window in the center is blind. The rear outshuts have catslide roofs, and there is a two-storey gabled rear wing at the center, built of stone rubble with yellow brick dressings. The interior has not been inspected.
