Western Farmhouse At Shankfoot

Western Farmhouse at Shankfoot is a house that dates from the late 17th century and was remodeled in the early 19th century. It is constructed of rubble with large, roughly-shaped quoins and cut dressings, topped with a slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has three bays, which are slightly irregular in arrangement.

The central entrance features a boarded door set within an opening that has a flat-pointed head and a moulded surround with heavy bar stops, which may have been re-set. The house has 16-pane sash windows with alternating jambs and slightly projecting sills. There are ashlar stepped stacks with conjoined shafts and moulded caps.

To the right, there is a rear wall of a demolished adjacent building, behind which the house's outshut extends. Inside, the farmhouse includes four-panel doors, old ceiling beams, and two late 17th-century fireplaces with moulded flat-pointed arches supported by corbels.
