Shotton House

Shotton House is a house built in 1828 for H.C. Selby. It features an ashlar facade, with dressed stone elsewhere and ashlar dressings, topped by a Scottish slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has a three-bay facade with a three-bay single-storey extension on the right rear.

The facade includes a two-leaf, six-panelled door set within a segmental-arched recess in the projecting centre bay. This door is adorned with a Tuscan entablature and banded rustication that forms the voussoirs around the door arch. The original sash windows, which have had their intermediate glazing bars removed, are framed in architraves. Above the ground floor, there is a band that becomes a floating cornice in the centre bay. The facade also features angle pilasters with patterned capitals, a moulded cornice, and a plain parapet with a central panel inscribed with "18 HC SELBY 29."

The hipped roof has a central well and two rebuilt brick stacks, and similar architectural details are found on the returns of the building. The former service wing at the rear has been reduced to a single storey and now has a flat roof.

Inside, the house boasts a broad open-well staircase with stick balusters and a wreathed handrail, along with six-panelled doors and attractive decorative cornices. A 20th-century porch at the front door is not considered of special interest.
