Description
Cranston Cottage and Shop is a house and shop, likely built in the 19th century. It is constructed from local lias stone that is roughly squared and features a clay pantile roof with simple gables and a brick chimney stack. The building has two storeys and consists of four bays. The windows are mostly sash windows with 16 panes, set under timber lintels. The upper bay four has a 3-light small-pane casement. The lower bay one has a small shopfront with two square bay windows flanking a pair of glazed doors in a recess, topped with a narrow fascia that has a flat lead roof. There is a boarded door in bay two and boarded garage doors in bay four, with a small 20th-century casement window to the left. The interior was not seen as the house was unoccupied in June 1984.
