7 And 8, Shavington Park

Nos. 7 and 8 Shavington Park are a pair of estate cottages built around 1903, likely designed by Ernest Newton. They are constructed of red brick with tile-hung attics and pebbledashed porches featuring tile-hung gables. The cottages have a plain tile roof that is hipped over the rear wings and are arranged in a U-plan, consisting of one storey and an attic.

The southeast (garden) front features a central brick ridge stack and additional brick ridge stacks at the junctions of the porches and cross wings. Each stack is square in section with two triangular-section projections on each face. The barge boards are plain and pegged over the ends of the purlins. The design includes a pair of gabled wings with a recessed ground floor that is not aligned with the gables, and a flush attic with a central raking semi-dormer. The front has four windows, with five-light leaded wooden casements, including paired four-light casements in the dormer. The ground floor windows have gauged-brick heads.

On the left and right return fronts, there are ground-floor three-and-five-light leaded wooden casements. A central two-storey porch has an open ground floor supported by two square oak posts with corner brackets and a moulded bressumer; the first floor features a four-light leaded wooden casement. There is a stone step leading up to a boarded door with a small window beside it.

At the rear, the wings have five-light leaded wooden attic casements and catslide roofs on either side of a hip that descends over set-back outshuts. A one-storey brick service block projects between the rear wings, featuring a hipped roof and a catslide over the outshut at the end. Roofed passageways connect the wings and the outbuilding, leading to half-glazed back doors. The interiors have not been inspected. Although these cottages have been attributed to Richard Norman Shaw, who worked at Shavington Hall in the mid-1880s, they are stylistically more consistent with the work of Ernest Newton from 1903.
