High Williamshaw

High Williamshaw is a house built around 1771 and extended in 1862. It is a symmetrical, two-storey and attic structure with crow-stepped gables and three bays, complemented by later single-storey wings at the rear, creating a U-shaped courtyard. The design combines classical and traditional elements, featuring painted raised ashlar margins and quoins, as well as a base course, cill course, and eaves course. The gable ends have a single window and a gablehead stack, with small attic windows.

The principal elevation faces south and includes a central Venetian doorpiece with a key-stoned semicircular arch above, leading to a two-leaf timber panelled entrance door with glazed interior doors. The central three-bay section is flanked by two-bay single-storey wings that have false Venetian windows, with the initials TLD on the door lintel to the right.

The rear wings are single-storey and feature slatted timber garage doors, along with various window and door openings. The house predominantly has 12-pane timber sash and case windows and is roofed with grey slates, topped with coped gablehead stacks.

To the west, there is a single-storey outbuilding made of double-gabled rubble, with a slated roof and pigeon holes on each gable.

Inside, the house was renovated in 1980 but retains much of its original room layout and some original features. This includes a horseshoe staircase with timber balusters and banister, along with some simple original plaster cornicing.
