Blackshaw Royd Farmhouse and attached barn

Blackshaw Royd Farmhouse and the attached barn are located in Blackshaw Head and date from the late 17th century, with the barn likely built in the mid-17th century. The farmhouse is constructed from hammer-dressed stone and features a blue slate roof, while the barn has a stone slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has a two-room front with a double-pile layout and a gable entry.

The east front of the farmhouse includes double chamfered mullioned windows, with five lights and four lights on the ground floor. There is a C19 doorway with monolithic jambs. The first floor has a three-light flat faced mullioned window to the left of two chamfered mullioned windows with four lights and three lights. The left-hand return wall features a three-light double chamfered mullioned window to the right of a basket-arched doorway with a chamfered surround, and a two-light chamfered mullioned window to the left. The building has quoins, a coped gable with kneelers, and a stack. There is another stack on the ridge. The rear of the farmhouse has chamfered mullioned windows with two lights and three lights.

The attached barn is single aisled to the west and has a square-headed cart entry with a heavy lintel, set within a portal that includes chamfered mistal doorways in the re-entrant angle. There is a similar cart entry to the east. The barn's interior has four bays with principal trusses featuring queen struts but lacking king posts. The south gable has rectangular ventilators that are now blocked by the house, indicating that the barn was built first.

Inside the farmhouse, there was formerly an interior passage, and it retains a chamfered doorway. The housebody includes a segmental arched fireplace supported by corbelled jambs with a chamfered surround, as well as reeded spine beams and stop-chamfered joists.
