Description
Shelfield Park Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse that has been refaced or partly rebuilt and possibly extended in the 18th and 19th centuries. It features a projecting center with rear additions and alterations from the mid-19th century. The structure is timber framed with lath and plaster and brick infill, while the right part has a high plinth and part of the rear wing made of regular coursed limestone. The entire exterior is faced in red Flemish Bond brick, with some additions made from different types of brick. A brick dentil cornice runs along the top, and the roof is tiled with brick end stacks. The building has a complex L-plan with a wing at the rear, standing two stories high with an attic and a three-window range.
The projecting gabled center features a part-glazed six-panel door set in a gabled brick open porch, flanked by narrow windows. The upper floors have 19th-century casements, mostly three-light, with glazing bars. To the left, there is a canted bay window. The first-floor windows on the left and center have cambered brick arches, while the right has a painted wood lintel. The first floor on the right is faced with thinner, possibly 17th-century bricks. The central and left return side gables are made of different bricks, showcasing brick corbelling and patterning, with a two-light segmental-headed casement in the central gable. The right return side has a gable with exposed framing and a casement, along with a two-storey wing that has a ground floor casement.
At the rear, the left wing has a bricked-up doorway with a casement inserted in the right return side. There is also a 19th-century gabled range in the re-entrant angle. Inside, the entrance hall features a 19th-century quarter turn staircase. Some exposed framing and broad-chamfered ceiling beams can be seen in the rooms to the right on both floors. The attics contain 17th-century three-plank doors. The farmhouse is part of a group that includes a barn and a shelter shed.
