Broad Shaw Farmhouse And Adjoining Barn

Broad Shaw Farmhouse and the adjoining barn date back to 1651, as indicated by the inscription "GWAW 1651 ICIW" on the door lintel. The building is constructed from hammer-dressed stone and features a graduated stone slate roof. It has a 2-unit plan with three bays and two storeys, along with a rear wing that includes the barn. The structure has quoins and a door to the left, which is obscured by a brick addition. This door has a dated lintel, a chamfered surround, and an obtuse-angled head with recessed spandrels.

The farmhouse features five and four-light double-chamfered mullion windows, with two mullions removed from the former and a hoodmould on the latter. The first floor has similar windows with six, three, and three lights, each having one or two missing mullions. The building also has a kneeler and gable chimney stacks, with the right stack projecting. An arched light on the rear left, possibly a fire window, is inscribed with the letters G, C, and W. Other windows in the gables and rear have two or three lights.

The rear wing, which was once a separate dwelling, has various chamfered mullion windows, mostly altered, on both the front and rear. The barn features a round-headed cart entry. Inside the farmhouse, there are chamfered floor beams and a moulded fire surround with an obtuse-angled lintel in the parlour. The rear wing contains an 18th-century fireplace and a timber-framed crosswall. The barn has inclined strut roof trusses, one of which is diagonally braced, suggesting that it was originally a timber-framed structure.
