Shelley's Cottage is a Grade II listed early 19th-century large cottage in west Englefield Green, Surrey, England within 100 metres of Windsor Great Park marking the start of Berkshire.
Physical environment
The two-storey cottage dates from c. 1800 and is built from red brick with a low-pitched slate roof. It has been extended with matching materials and in similar styles and today has a small garden relative to the average along the lane.[1] The cottage is in the west of Englefield Green, in a plot screened behind others and tall trees that is, at about 100 metres east, close to Windsor Great Park. It is in the Borough of Runnymede, Surrey which as part of Englefield Green which in the early 19th century formed the uplands of the extensive parish of Egham centred on a small market town 2 miles (3 km) east, today a suburban town. This neighbourhood was widely known by a lesser used name, Bishopsgate, in Shelley's time referring to the east gate of the monarch's own landscape park in southern England.[2][1]
The cottage is situated at the end of an unnamed road that adjoins Wick Lane.[3] The road is believed to be private, its residents generally unwelcoming of visitors wishing to view the property, even for research purposes.[4]
