Sherendon Farmhouse

Sherendon Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates back to the 17th century, with some parts possibly being older and various modernizations, the largest of which occurred around 1700. The older section features timber framing, although the end wall was rebuilt in the 19th century using red brick in Flemish bond, and the front is covered with cement render that mimics ashlar masonry. The extension from around 1700 is made of coursed blocks of local stone ashlar, with large quoins at the south end corner, and the south end wall is constructed of English bond red brick that includes many burnt headers. The farmhouse has a brick stack and chimney shafts, topped with a peg-tile roof.

The building faces east-southeast and has a three-room lobby entrance plan, with the 17th-century section located at the right (north) end. The small room at the north end has an end stack that was added in the late 19th century. The main axial stack is situated between the other two rooms and serves back-to-back fireplaces, with the lobby entrance located in front. To the left (south) is a two-room parlour extension from around 1700, which currently has a disused stack.

The farmhouse is two storeys high, with attics in the roof space and lean-to outshots across the rear of the right end. The exterior features an irregular four-window front with a variety of windows. At the left end, there is a late 19th-century canted bay window with timber mullion-and-transom windows. Next to it is a 19th-century 16-pane sash window, followed by a tripartite sash window with a central 16-pane sash. Above this is a 17th-century oriel window supported by curving oak brackets, featuring five lights with ovolo-moulded mullions. The first floor at the right end has another 17th-century window with three lights and chamfered oak mullions, while the remaining windows are 19th and 20th-century casements. A pent roof extends across the front of the older section at the first floor level. The main roof is half-hipped at both ends and includes three front gabled dormers, with the rear roof extending down over the outshots. The interior was not available for inspection at the time of this survey.
