Shear Farmhouse

Shear Farmhouse is a house dating from around 1600. It features a timber frame with tile hanging, and the ground floor is infilled and refaced with red brick. The building has a two-cell lobby entry plan with an outshot, stands two storeys high with a garret, and has a half-hipped roof topped with a central cluster of three flues. The windows are regularly spaced, with two three-light wooden casements on each floor, and there is a boarded door located off-centre to the right. At the rear, there is a catslide outshot. Inside, the base of the central stack is made of sandstone, and there is a newel stair positioned against its rear side. At the time of the survey, the building had been stripped of its interior finishes, exposing its structure before re-cladding and extension took place.
