Stirchley Hall Farmhouse

This is a 17th-century stone farmhouse with later brick additions, located on Stirchley Road in Stirchley. The house has a steeply pitched plain tile roof with gabled ends. The south-east facing stone elevation features stone mullion windows and a gable bearing a plaque dated 1653. A substantial stone stack is situated at the rear (north-west), topped with a gabled brick stage and three tall brick shafts. The brick stage of the stack includes a stone plaque inscribed with ‘C’ over "TER" and the date 1721. An 18th-century, two-storey, two-bay red brick wing is attached to the south-west end, characterised by stone quoins and stone-coped gable ends. Inside, the interior features heavily moulded ceiling beams and joists with run-out stops, including a carved boss with an arris, along with a chamfered fireplace bresummer. The house was likely constructed by the Forster family of Gutton Maddock in the 17th century and subsequently enlarged by the Clawes family in the 18th century.
