Erasmus House

Erasmus House is a Grade II* listed building located in Church Square, Shepperton, Sunbury-on-Thames. Originally built in the 15th century, it was refronted around 1700 and has been extended to the rear. The house features a timber frame, with the front clad in mathematical tiles, coved plaster eaves, and hipped plain tiled roofs, while the left side has 20th-century tiles. The building has an H-shaped plan and is two storeys high with attics in the center, which are adorned with four tile-hung, hip-roofed dormers that have glazing-bar sash windows. The first floor juts out over a moulded bressumer, and there are various stacks, including a rear stack to the left of center and an end stack to the left.

The front facade includes seven twelve-pane glazing-bar sash windows on the first floor and six below, with additional sash windows on each floor of the end wings and inner return walls. The central entrance features a panelled door beneath a flat hood supported by volute scroll brackets. On the right return front, there is a leaded oriel window on the ground floor to the left, with mixed sash and casement windows elsewhere. A 20th-century extension to the right includes a leaded window that wraps around the corner. At the rear, there is an angle bay range made of yellow brick on the left and a hipped slate-roofed range on the right, featuring cambered-head sash windows.

Inside, the house is a hall house, believed to date back to 1498. The ground floor room to the right has exposed moulded ceiling frames and a roll-moulded and chamfered spine beam. There is a Carolean staircase with straight string and oak newels, and recently discovered 18th-century Chinese hand-painted designs on the walls.
