Description

Shillingford Farmhouse, dating from the early to mid-18th century, is a farmhouse constructed of flared brick with red-brick dressings and coursed clunch rubble featuring squared quoins. It has an old plain-tile roof with brick stacks and a double-depth plan. The building is two storeys high with a symmetrical five-window front, built in header bond with gauged-brick segmental arches. The central entrance features a six-panel door and a 19th-century open porch, while all windows are fitted with 12-pane sashes. A brick dentil eaves course extends to the rubble sides and rear. The right side has additional segmental-arched sashes, and the left side boasts large 19th-century canted bay windows adorned with cast-iron ornamental cresting. The roof is a double-span hipped design with stacks emerging from the valley. At the rear, there is a small 19th-century wing made of rubble and brick, and a quoin stone inscribed "JC 1796" can be found there. Inside, the farmhouse features an early to mid-18th-century staircase with turned balusters and a closed string. The property is connected by a 19th-century cast-iron gate to a set of railings and gates that run along a low brick wall in front of the house, leading to the church wall with tiled coping, which extends approximately 50 meters to the south.
