Shotton Farmhouse

Shotton Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in the mid- to late 18th century, with early to mid-19th century additions. It is constructed of red brick with a dressed red sandstone plinth and slate roofs, standing three storeys tall. The building features a dentil brick eaves cornice, integral brick end stacks, and a brick ridge stack that is off-centre to the north-east.

The north-west front has a three-window layout with two- and three-light segmental-headed wooden casements. The entrance door is off-centre between the first and second windows from the right, featuring four flush panels and a three-light rectangular overlight with a segmental head. To the left, there is a later two-storey gabled addition that projects at right angles, which includes three-light segmental-headed wooden casements on each floor and an external lateral stack on the left side.

At the rear, there is a central door with four flush panels, a three-part rectangular overlight, and a bracketed porch. A later projecting gabled wing of one and a half storeys includes an integral lateral brick stack. Inside, the farmhouse has a staircase with a closed string and stick balusters.

Historically, Richard Gough noted in 1701 that Shotton Farm "antiently belong to the Kinastons." Thomas Kinaston sold the property to Mr. William Watkins in 1629. The current buildings at Shotton Farm appear to date from after Gough's account, and it is possible that he was referring to Shotton Hall, which is now from the mid- to late 19th century and is not included in this listing. During Gough's time, Hadnall was a chapelry of Myddle.
