Nos. 394, 396, 398, and 400 on Shawclough Road are four houses built around 1810. They are constructed from watershot stone and have stone slate roofs. Each house is three storeys high, double-depth, and one bay wide, with the entrance door positioned to the right and a chimney stack to the left. Each house features a square-cut monolithic door surround, a square-shaped window opening on the ground floor, and a six-light window on the first floor, except for No. 394, which has a square opening. Nos. 398 and 400 have had two mullions removed and two lights blocked, and each house has a three-light opening in the attic floor, with the sill of this window abutting the base of the first-floor window. All mullions are flat-faced, and all windows have 20th-century casements. Nos. 394 and 396 are raised above the basement and are accessed by steps. The eaves are supported by moulded stone brackets.
