Shugden Farmhouse

Shugden Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse with early 19th-century and more recent alterations. It is constructed of hammer-dressed stone with a stone slate roof. The building is two storeys high and originally comprised two rooms. The front elevation features two three-light flat-faced mullioned windows and one single-light window on each floor, with more recent casement windows. Recent stone brackets support the gutter, and the gables have moulded kneelers and copings. The stacks have been altered. There is a continuous outshut to the rear, incorporating some double-chamfered windows and quoins. A large projecting stack to the left gable has been partly rebuilt. The main doorway, which has a chamfered surround, is situated to the left of the stack and is now within a recent glazed porch.

Inside, a chamfered doorway connects the two rooms. A large cambered bressumer-beam with a heck-post supporting a fire-hood is located near the external stack, all constructed of reused timber, and the fireplace is 19th century. Above the bressumer, at first floor level, is a large king-post truss with struts and an extended tie-beam and king-post to support the ridge, again using reused timber.
