Homanton House

Homanton House is a detached house located on the west side of Salisbury Road in Shrewton. It dates from the mid-17th century, with an early 19th-century addition to the west and a late 19th-century extension to the north. The house features flint and limestone bands, cob and brick in the rear additions, and a thatched roof with brick stacks. The gable end faces the road and the building is two stories high with a three-window front.

The central entrance has a door with six fielded panels and a fanlight above, sheltered by a gabled tiled canopy. On either side of the door are one four-pane sash window in a stone case with a hoodmould. The first floor has two six-pane sashes and one casement window to the left. The left corner of the house features chamfered rusticated quoins. The left side has an external stack and one four-light sash and one plate-glass sash on the ground floor, with a six-pane sash and a four-pane sash on the first floor. The right side has one casement window on the first floor and 19th-century lean-to extensions with slate roofs on the ground floor.

At the rear, there is a cob and thatched early 19th-century extension with plate-glass and four-pane sashes, while to the left is a double-gabled late 19th-century extension with two-light wooden casements on both floors. Inside, the east room to the right of the entrance has deeply chamfered cross beams, and the entrance hall features reused 18th-century barleysugar balusters and carved spandrels on the Imperial-style staircase, which was added after the removal of the 17th-century ceiling in the early 19th century. There is also a three-light chamfered mullioned window in the east room, which was formerly part of the external north wall, and a 19th-century bolection-moulded fireplace in the west room.
