Description

Shawell Hall is a house with an attached cottage, outbuildings, and stables located on Main Street in Shawell. The building dates from the 17th and 18th centuries, likely incorporating earlier materials, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of red brick and some stone, topped with a plain tile roof featuring two gable stacks.

The east front of the house, which is early 19th century in style, is symmetrical and consists of 2½ storeys and three bays. The central doorway has a flat hood supported by brackets, a six-panel door with an overlight, and a cambered arch. On either side of the door are single glazing-bar sash windows with cambered arches. Above these, there are three similar sashes with cambered arches, and above again, three smaller sashes, all with stone sills.

To the left of the main house is a lower two-storey cottage made of rendered brick, also with a plain tile roof and a tall ridge stack. This cottage features an off-centre doorway with a plank door and a cambered arch, alongside a three-light sliding sash window with a cambered arch. Above, there is a three-light casement window. The east gable end has a lead rainwater head inscribed with the initials T.P. and the arms of Thomas Planplin.

Further to the left is a single-storey rendered brick range with a half-hipped roof, a large stack, a brick band, and a dentilled cornice. It contains a single three-light casement window with a cambered arch. Attached to this range is another similar structure, which has a doorway with a four-panel door and a flat arch, a vehicle entrance with 20th-century double plank doors and a cambered arch, a two-light casement window with a flat arch, and above it, a small glazing-bar sash with a cambered arch, along with a loft doorway featuring a plank door.

Finally, to the left, there is a low range of 18th and 19th-century brick stables. Inside the building, there is much 18th and 19th-century joinery, including several panelled doors, and a staircase from the late 17th century with a closed string, turned balusters, and a moulded handrail, which is said to have been brought from another house. There is also a brick vault at the rear.
