The Shaw West

The Shaw West is a house built in 1675, with additions from the 19th century. It is constructed from large dressed stone and features a stone slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has a three-room front with a single aisle at the rear. Notable architectural details include a plinth and a string course that rises over the windows and doorway. The windows are all double chamfered mullioned types, with lowered sills and extended mullions. There is a six-light parlour window and a six-light housebody window, both with similar detailing above. Additionally, there is a three-light fire-window from the 19th century with the same style above it. The doorway has a chamfered surround and a raised lintel.

On the front, there are two large 19th-century sashed windows with a six-light window above. The left-hand return wall features a tall extruded stack and an added rear kitchen wing, likely from the 19th century, which reuses 17th-century stonework with mason's marks that match the main range. The gables are coped and have kneelers and ball finials. There is another stack on the ridge that backs onto a former through passage. Inside the housebody, there is a bressumer beam in the former fire area, which is plastered over. A timbered arcade to the aisle is said to survive. The attached 19th-century house to the east and the rear range of cottages to the north are not of interest and are excluded from the listing.
