Shavington Wood Farmhouse

Shavington Wood Farmhouse is a timber-framed farmhouse, dating from 1536, with a probable late 16th or early 17th century addition, and 18th and late 19th century additions to the rear. The structure has plastered and painted brick infill, with the left-hand gable end rebuilt in brick, painted to imitate timber framing. The roof is tiled, with a slate roof on a 19th-century red brick addition. The framing features first-floor close studding and ground-floor rectangular panels, with short straight corner braces. A later addition displays large square panels. The farmhouse originally comprised two framed bays, with an addition built around 1600 to the southwest of one bay. It is a one-storey and attic building. The north-west front has a brick ridge stack off-centre to the left and a brick lateral stack to the rear right. Three large, timber-framed dormers with 3-light wooden-framed metal casements are present. A central gable bears the date "AD 1536." The front has two windows; 20th-century 3-light wooden casements are on the left, and a boarded door with a moulded architrave sits off-centre to the right, sheltered by a late 19th-century timber-framed gabled porch. The right-hand gable end is slightly jettied at the first floor, with a moulded bressumer and a jettied gable with shaped end brackets. The gable above the collar has been rebuilt in painted 19th-century brick. A 3-light wooden attic casement and a late 19th-century ground-floor square bay with 1:3:1-light small-paned wooden casements, bracketed eaves, and a hipped tile roof are also present. 18th and 19th-century gabled brick wings are located at the rear, featuring a brick stack in the valley.

The interior's central ground-floor room displays an ovolo-moulded ceiling beam running front to back, and a large open fireplace with a chamfered wooden lintel with ogee stops. The right-hand ground-floor room also has a chamfered ceiling beam. A 2-panelled door, dating from around 1700, is found in the left-hand ground-floor room and features H-L hinges. A right-hand cross wall has angle braces and a collar and tie-beam roof truss with V-struts; the tie beams have been cut to create a doorway, now blocked. A left-hand cross wall (the former external wall) features close studding and a jettied gable with a chamfered tie-beam. The left-hand bay has staggered purlins and wind braces, while the right-hand bay has chamfered purlins. The 18th-century rear wing contains an 18th-century king-post truss.
