Shaw Green House Farmhouse

This farmhouse dates from the early and late 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th century, and has been divided into two dwellings. It is constructed with painted brick walls on a high stone base, with quoins to half the height, and has a red tiled roof with a ridge chimney and two gable chimneys. The house is in a T-shape: the main 3-bay, 3-storey section is accompanied by a single-bay, 2-storey wing to the rear of the second bay, which appears to be the older part. The south front now has two modern doors, one in the second and one in the third bay. It features three large 9-pane windows on the ground and first floors, with splayed brick heads. The second floor has three low 3-light casements. An inset stone carving “OSKELL” is positioned on the right end of the first floor. The left end wall has a blocked stone stair leading to a former first-floor door. At the rear, the first bay features an old lean-to dairy, the third bay an outshut, and the rebuilt rear wing has a west wall of old thin bricks. Water tabling detail on the chimney and in the rear wall suggests the building was formerly thatched. Inside the rear wing is a ¼-round moulded beam, a blocked inglenook hearth, and at the first-floor junction, a timber-framed truss. The main range contains ovolo-moulded beams, a bressummer to a former inglenook, and some timber-framed partition walls, including one in the dairy that incorporates an arched doorway.
