Shanhere — Scotstown Road matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: The regular form and symmetrical façade of this building makes a pleasant contribution to the road scape, despite its current derelict condition. It is complemented by render detailing, plat-band, quoins, and window surrounds, which combine to add textural interest to the facade. Timber sliding sash windows and cast-iron railings to the front contribute to its architectural heritage value. The house occupies the site, and may incorporate fabric from an earlier gate lodge serving the Cornecassa House estate. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
