Shrubbery Farmhouse

Shrubbery Farmhouse is a former farmhouse that was built in two main stages, during the mid-16th century and early 17th century, with a lower 18th-century bakehouse range added to the rear. The building has two storeys, with the parlour cross-wing also featuring attics, while the earlier section on the left is one storey with attics. It is timber-framed and plastered, topped with thatched roofs. The cross-wing displays cusped 19th-century bargeboards on 17th-century carved brackets at the gable-feet. There is an axial 18th-century chimney made of red brick. The windows are mainly 19th-century small-pane sashes and casements. A 19th-century thatched gabled entrance porch with cusped bargeboards and a spike finial leads to a 20th-century framed and boarded door.

The 16th-century section consists of two cells and originally had a half-hipped roof at the left end. Inside, there is heavy arch-braced studwork and a clasped-purlin roof, along with a blocked four-light diamond-mullioned window and evidence of others. This section became the service end when a higher hall range with a parlour cross-wing was added in the early 17th century. The hall features part of a moulded plank-and-muntin cross-passage screen, ovolo-moulded main beams with intricate stops, and chamfered common joists laid flat.
