Description
Malmains Farmhouse and Shareborne House, now functioning as a pair of houses, date back to the late 15th century, with alterations and extensions made in the mid-17th century and around 1800. The building features a timber frame with exposed close-studding and plaster infill, underbuilt with painted brick, and extended with rendered brick. It has a plain tiled roof and originally followed a hall house plan.
The structure stands two storeys high and was likely originally jettied, with a roof that is hipped to the left. It has stacks located to the centre left and end right, along with a shaped gable that projects to the centre right. The left wing, added around 1800, has one glazing bar sash window on each floor, along with a wooden casement, a horizontal glazing bar sash, and two glazing bar sashes on the first floor of the timber-framed section. The ground floor features two glazing bar sashes and a central wooden casement, with boarded doors on both sides.
The left-hand wing has the main entrance on its left return. This section is also two storeys tall, topped with a parapet over a hipped roof and a stack at the rear. It includes two margin light sashes and a central glazing bar sash on the first floor, and two margin light sashes on the ground floor, with a central six-panelled door set within a fluted Doric porch.
A wall made of flint, rubble, and brick projects from the centre left of the main elevation, standing about six feet high and extending approximately 15 metres. Inside, the hall house features ovolo moulded arch braced tie beams and a crown post roof, with the hall itself ceiled either in the late 16th century or mid-17th century. The rear wing, which has a shaped gable, is constructed of red brick in English bond. An inglenook with a curved timber screen survives on one side, and there are 18th-century doors and fittings present. The frame is generally of good scantling and moulded detail.
Historically, the house served as the principal seat of the Monins family and was the manor house until Sir Henry Furnese acquired the estate and built Waldershare Park around 1705.
