Description
Shelford House is an early 19th century building in Suffolk, constructed in 1836 from gault brick. It features a hipped slate roof with wide eaves and stands two storeys tall with attics. The front facade includes two two-storeyed splayed bays, each with three windows, and a central deeply recessed window on the upper storey. Below this, there is a single storeyed entrance porch that fills the recess. The windows are double-hung sashes with glazing bars set in shallow reveals. Additionally, there are two gabled dormers on the front.
