Description
New Shelve Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 17th century, with early 19th-century alterations. It is constructed of chequered red and grey brick and features a plain tile roof. The building is double depth, with two storeys, attics, and a semi-basement set on a stone plinth. It has a plat band and a deep coved eaves cornice, along with a hipped roof that has hips returning along the side elevations. There are two multiple brick ridge stacks, one at the centre of each side elevation, and two hipped dormers.
The fenestration is irregular, featuring two large early 19th-century tripartite sashes and a smaller blocked central window. The ground floor windows have segmental heads, while the right side elevation includes three glazing-bar sashes, each different from one another. The rear elevation retains a few original wood mullioned and transomed windows. The entrance features a ribbed door beneath a segmental-headed window, with rubbed brick voussoirs, in a flat-roofed 19th-century red brick porch that has a moulded wood cornice and is accessed by seven steps.
Inside, there is a late 17th-century well staircase that leads from the ground floor to the attic, featuring a moulded handrail, twisted balusters, and knobs and balls on the newel posts, with a closed string. The left-hand ground-floor room has slightly recessed panelling with raised borders, pilaster-type panels with capitals on either side of the fireplace overmantle, and a moulded cornice. The attic stairwell has sunk panelling, and there is a contemporary fireback present.
