Description

Shotton Hall is a house built in the mid-18th century, with some alterations made in the early 19th century. The exterior features pebble-dashed masonry and chimneys, topped with renewed pantiled roofs. A rear service wing is attached to the right side of the main structure. The entrance front is two stories high and consists of six unevenly-spaced bays, with a low plinth and raised quoins. The third bay has a pedimented doorcase with a pulvinated frieze, which contains an early 19th-century door featuring four vertical panels. The windows are 12-pane sashes with projecting sills and lintels. The hipped roof has slightly-swept eaves and three ridge chimneys.

The left return has five bays, a large plinth, and raised quoins on the right, with mostly 12-pane sash windows. The right return also has five bays and a parapet, with an early 19th-century shallow two-story bow on the left, featuring three elongated 15-pane sashes on each floor, two of which have wrought-iron balconies. There are boarded windows and a slightly-projecting gabled end bay with a lateral stack on the right. The irregular rear includes a Venetian stair window. The single-storey, five-bay service wing has boarded windows and a steeply-pitched roof with a hipped end.

Inside, there is a mid-18th-century three-flight cut-string open-well staircase with turned balusters and a moulded handrail. The entrance hall features moulded wall panels and an enriched late 18th-century chimney-piece. Several six-panel doors are set in architraves, and there are three-panel window shutters. The stair window displays a Palladian motif with angular capitals.

A late 20th-century rear addition is not considered to be of special interest.
