Shalbourne Manor Farmhouse

Shalbourne Manor Farmhouse is a 16th-century farmhouse, likely incorporating some earlier structure, that has been remodeled after 1930. It is constructed of stone and flint with brick lacings and features two stories, attics, and a cellar, with a total of seven bays. The entrance is located in a two-storey gabled porch in the fourth bay, which has an external stone Tudor arch with a label and square stops. Above the arch is a shield set in a moulded and gadrooned panel. The inner door is 16-panelled and studded within a moulded frame. The windows, added in the 1930s, are moulded oak with leaded glazing set within chamfered brick reveals. The farmhouse has large gables on the left bay and over the porch bay, both displaying parts of the original moulded bargeboards and pendants. To the right of the porch, there are blocked cellar windows featuring ogee tracery. The gables have stacks with triple diagonal shafts, and there is an external stack to the right and another at the rear of the third bay, likely serving the original hall. A 19th-century rear wing is attached on the left side, and there is a moulded stone doorcase from the 15th century in the left gable. Inside, the drawing room in the seventh bay has a stone Tudor arched fireplace and a chamfered ceiling beam. The library in the fifth bay features a heavy stud and panel partition leading to the rear corridor from the entrance hall. The staircase is not of special interest, and while the upper floors and roof have not been seen, it is said to have additional stone fireplaces.
