Description
Shorthampton Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in the early 18th century, with a late 18th-century addition at the rear. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble and features stone dressings, topped with a stone slate roof. The building has an L-plan layout and consists of two storeys and an attic.
On the north-east front, there is an integral brick and stone end stack on the left with weatherings, as well as an off-centre stone ridge stack to the right and another integral brick end stack on the right, both with weatherings and shafts that have been rebuilt in brick. The façade has three gabled dormers, each with small-paned 2-light wooden casements. The arrangement of the front includes three bays with leaded wooden cross windows that have chamfered wooden lintels and chamfered stone cills. The ground floor features boxed 16-pane glazing bar sashes in the first and second bays from the left. There is a half-glazed door in the second bay from the left, which has a chamfered wooden lintel and a gabled 20th-century porch. A blocked doorway is located between the first and second bays from the right, indicated by straight joints.
Adjoining the farmhouse at right angles is a one-storey service wing, which has wooden cross windows and a boarded door. At the rear, there are two windows to the right; a first-floor leaded wooden cross window to the left, a blocked first-floor window to the right, a ground-floor 3-light leaded wooden casement to the left, and a ground-floor boxed 16-pane glazing bar sash to the right. The central door has six beaded flush panels and a wooden lintel, with a 20th-century glazed porch. To the left is a gabled star tower that is two storeys and an attic high, featuring a leaded 2-light wooden attic casement, and the right-hand return has a first-floor leaded 2-light casement and a blocked doorway. The right-hand return front includes a projecting semi-circular bread oven with a conical stone-slate roof. There is a straight joint to the rear wing on the right. The interior has not been inspected, but panelled internal window shutters have been noted.
