This small cottage is Grade II Listed and occupies a site on the iconic cobbled ‘Gold Hill’ opposite the Shaftesbury Abbey walls, made famous in Ridley Scott’s Hovis ‘Boy on the bike’ advert. The existing 2.5 storey semi-detached 2 bedroom cottage appears to date from the 16th century possibly incorporating stone elements from an earlier structure, with timber framed elements over. The cottage was reconstructed several times in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries in a crude and humble manner, often using reclaimed materials resulting in a mix of structural elements and materials.
