Shaw Hill, English country house in Whittle-le-Woods, Lancashire.

Shaw Hill extends across three floors, built with ashlar stone and features hipped slate roofs concealed behind a distinctive parapet design.

The Crosse family purchased the land around 1400, and Thomas Bright Ikin commissioned architect Charles Reed to rebuild the house in the 1830s.

The property earned Grade II listed status, marking its importance within England's architectural heritage and requiring preservation of its historical elements.

The building now functions as a hotel with 30 rooms, offering accommodation services and featuring an indoor swimming pool for guests.

William Sawrey Gilpin designed the surrounding landscape during the 1830s reconstruction, creating 192 acres of parkland around the house.
