Shaw'S Cottage And Adjoining Outbuilding

Shaw's Cottage and the adjoining outbuilding are likely from the mid to late 18th century, with a late 18th-century addition. The cottage is built from roughly dressed stone, featuring a rendered gable end on the front (south) and a rendered side wall (west). It has a gable-ended roof covered with asbestos slate, and rendered stacks. The outbuilding has a corrugated iron roof.

The cottage has a one-room plan with an entrance on the front gable end, an external lateral stack on the left side (west), and a staircase at the rear (north). There is a former stable from the late 18th century attached to the rear. A lean-to, likely from the 18th or 19th century, that was part of the adjoining Thatched Cottage has been incorporated into Shaw's Cottage, probably in the mid-20th century. The building stands two storeys tall, while the stable is one storey.

On the exterior, the south-facing gable end features a 19th-century two-light wooden casement window on the first floor and a boarded door with a wooden lintel on the ground floor. The right-hand return front has a ground-floor 19th-century two-light wooden casement with a wooden lintel, which may have been a former doorway, as indicated by straight joints beneath. The left-hand return front has a first-floor 19th-century two-light wooden casement on the left and a ground-floor one-light wooden casement below it.

The outbuilding at the rear, facing east, has two boarded doors on the right with strap hinges; the left door has a wooden lintel, while the right door features a 19th-century segmental brick-arched head with a raised keystone. There is also a doorway to the left with a wooden lintel and a 20th-century door, along with a window between the first and second windows from the left, which has a wooden lintel and straight joints beneath, likely indicating a former doorway. Inside the cottage, there is a boarded door leading to the stair-lobby, which has wrought-iron strap hinges, and the roof consists of three bays.
