Description
Shrubbery Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century, with a mid-19th century extension. It is timber framed, covered in colourwashed render, and has a pantile roof that was originally thatched.
On the yard front, there is a lean-to porch from the 20th century on the ground floor, located left of centre, featuring glazed walls and a brick plinth. To the left of the porch is a three-light casement window, and to the right is another three-light casement window from the 20th century. The first floor has two two-light casements, one three-light casement, and one single-light casement. A prominent chimney stack with a massive base and four clustered octagonal flues sits at the ridge, left of centre above the doorway.
The right gable end is made of brick and features a double gable. On the ground floor, there are two cambered-headed three-light casements, and on the first floor, there are two four-light cambered-headed casements. The left side also has two gable ends, with the gable from the 16th century projecting to the right, showcasing a four-light ground floor window with a cambered head and a three-light first floor window. Recessed to the left is the end of the 19th-century range, which has a three-light ground floor casement and a four-light window above it on the first floor, both of similar width.
At the rear, the farmhouse features brick walling arranged in a near-symmetrical two-bay layout, with a five-panel door that has the lower two panels flush, the central panel raised and fielded, and the upper two panels glazed. Flanking the door are three-light casements on the ground floor with cambered heads, and on the first floor, there are four-light casements with a central two-light casement.
Inside, the ground floor and first floor of the 16th-century range have chamfered ceiling beams, and the first floor features close studded walling on the front wall.
