Shoebrooks's Cottage. Detached cottage. Probably late C17 or early C18 with an extension dated 1828. Rendered; mainly random rubble with some cob; gable end slate roof.

The 1828 extension is to the right of this. 2 storeys.
Exterior. Front: one 3-light C19 casement window to first floor, one later casement window to main room with doorway to left. Rear with glazed extension and one 3-light casement window to first floor.
Interior: open fireplace (still in use as such) with unchamfered lintel. Main room with ceiling cross beam, chamfered with scroll stops.
An intact example of a late C17 smallholder's cottage, possibly originally a squatters cottage, in remote terrain on the south slopes of the Blackdown Hills.
