Shurnhold House

House. Built in the early 18th century, with renovations around 1900. The house is constructed of rubble stone, with a stone slate roof featuring coped verges and ashlar stacks topped with moulded caps. It has an L-shaped layout. The front of the house is two storeys and an attic, with four windows. A six-panelled door, set within a staff-moulded case and a 20th-century rustic porch, is located to the left of the centre. To the right of the door is a two-light, 19th-century flat-mullioned window, and early 20th-century three-light bay windows are on either side. The first floor has three two-light, beaded mullioned windows and one two-light, cyma-mullioned window with a drip mould; all are casements with leaded glass dating from around 1900. Two attic gables on the sides have two-light, cyma-mullioned windows with casements. To the right is a single-storey billiard room, built in 1900 in a 17th-century style, featuring a reused four-light, cyma-mullioned window with a drip mould. The left return is two storeys and five windows, with a door to the right set in a chamfered case with a flat stone hood supported by brackets. This side has three two-light, cyma-mullioned windows to the left, one single cyma-moulded casement, and one two-light, cyma-mullioned window to the right, all with drip moulds. The first-floor windows are mullioned casements of 2, 3, and 4 lights, all restored. At the rear are rendered extensions from the 19th century. Inside, the room to the right of the front door has a bolection-moulded fireplace. There are two other stone fireplaces, with Tudor arches and cornices. The billiard room, dating from 1900, has a reused large stone Tudor fireplace with carved spandrels, recessed panels below the cornice with rosettes and pilasters on the sides with leaf capitals; the origin of these materials is unknown.
