Description
Shoestring Cottage is a small house, likely built in the late 17th century, with modifications from the 18th and 19th centuries. It is set back from the adjoining property to the left and is attached to Woodham Cottage, with which it may have originally formed a pair, although it has a rebuilt front. The building features cut and squared limestone and has a concrete tile roof. It has two storeys, an attic, and a cellar, with one window. The ground floor includes a canted oriel window with a 20th-century casement, which is located under a hipped stone slate roof and above a cellar access with a wooden hatch. On the first floor, there is a 12-pane sash window in a flat stone surround, and the roof has a 3-light gabled dormer from the 20th century. To the left, there are three steps leading up to a 6-panel door, four of which are glazed. The cottage is included primarily for its group value. It was formerly known as Frith View.
