Long Shaw Farmhouse

Long Shaw Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates back to the 17th century, though it is predominantly from the 18th century and has undergone extensive recent restoration. The porch, which is probably from the 1720s, features coursed rubble and an ashlar-fronted design, topped with a stone slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has a three-room, through-passage layout with a rear outshut.

The two-storey open gabled porch has copings on cut kneelers and a string course. The entrance features a moulded surround with a cambered head. Inside, there are stone seats to the left and right of the entrance, and a first-floor two-light flat-faced mullioned window, along with an oculus on the right return. To the left of the porch, the bay has thinly-coursed walling with a doorway and an altered ground-floor four-light window, as well as a three-light first-floor window, both of which have square-cut and recessed flat-faced mullions. The two rooms to the right of the porch have been extensively rebuilt and feature three- and four-light flat-faced mullioned windows with six-pane casements. Gable copings on cut kneelers are present on the left side, and there are three stacks corresponding to the left end of each room, with rebuilt openings at the rear.

Inside, the central room has a fireplace with a cambered head and a moulded surround that features scrolled carving at the base, and it backs onto the through-passage. The beams are scarf-jointed, and the left room contains a fireplace with a deep cambered lintel and a moulded surround. The roof features king-post trusses with struts, possibly incorporating re-used tie-beams.
