Description
Goodshelter is a small house dating from the mid to late 17th century, with a 20th-century addition. It features plastered stone rubble walls and a gable-ended thatch roof, with rendered rubble stacks at each end; the right-hand stack has a brick shaft. The layout consists of a two-room and through-passage plan, with both rooms being roughly equal in size and each heated by a fireplace in the end walls. The exterior is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical front with three windows, which are 20th-century casements in one, two, and three lights. To the left of the centre, there is probably a 19th-century open-fronted thatched porch, leading to a 20th-century part-glazed door, situated behind a 20th-century two-storey flat-roofed addition at the left-hand end. The interior was inaccessible during the survey but is likely to contain original ceiling beams and fireplaces.
