Description
New Shipton Farmhouse is a farmhouse with a complex history, dating to the early 18th century, with the main house being of late 18th-century date and likely remodelled internally in the mid-19th century. The building is constructed of red brick in various bonds, with a garden-wall bond used on the timber-framed south range. The roof is tiled.
The main house is two storeys and an attic, originally a two-window range. The east-facing entrance front features a gabled porch flanked by single-storey bay windows, all likely of late 19th-century origin. It has broad segmental-arched windows on the first floor and two gabled cross-wings to the west, with a 20th-century addition to the north. A two-storey range extends to the south with an external stack. The main house has end stacks.
Inside the main house, the mid-19th-century dog-leg staircase has square newels, stick balusters, and a moulded rail. Features on the ground and first floors include HL hinges on cupboards flanking the fireplaces, broad architraves to doors, and massive purlins in the attic. The first floor of the south range exhibits timber framing with two tie beams, close studding, and no ridge-piece.
The building forms a group with the Barn Range located approximately 50 metres west of New Shipton Farmhouse. A minor amendment to this listing was made on 29 October 2018.
