Description

Shakenoak Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the early 17th century, with a late 17th or early 18th century extension at the rear. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble and features a gabled stone slate roof with a stone end stack. The building has a two-unit plan, is two storeys high with an attic, and has a two-window range. The windows include 20th-century casements set in a blocked door, as well as late 19th and 20th-century casements. The first-floor window on the right has 17th-century wood diamond mullions. There is a late 19th-century gabled roof dormer. The late 17th or early 18th-century rear wing is made of similar materials, and there is a 19th-century service range to the right, also constructed from similar materials. A 20th-century door is located in a remodelled former barn range to the left.

Inside, the room to the right features a lateral timber-framed partition and a central transverse timber-framed partition. The room on the left has winder stairs next to the stack, with a chamfered bressumer over an open fireplace. There is a heavy pegged frame doorway leading to the rear room, which has a similar fireplace. The floors are made of stone flags, and the roofs have butt-purlins.
