Description
Shutlanger Grove Farmhouse, built around 1840, is a red brick farmhouse constructed in Flemish bond with limestone dressings and hipped slate roofs. The building features a double-depth plan and is two stories high with a three-window range. The central entrance has double-leaf part-glazed doors, which are accessed by two stone steps and set within a stone porch supported by unfluted Doric columns. This porch has an entablature with triglyphs in the frieze, a deep moulded cornice, and a blocking cornice. The windows are 12-pane sash types with moulded stone surrounds. The farmhouse has a plinth, stone quoins, a storey band, and a band below the deep projecting eaves.
On either side of the main block are lower symmetrical two-storey wings, each with similar windows, a storey band, and quoins. There are also single-storey four-bay wings that are further set back, creating a tripartite composition with blind depressed-arched arcades featuring imposts, along with a stone plinth and quoins. The arches to the right of the main block frame two-light casement windows in alternate bays, with wood lintels above. The terminal single-storey pavilions on either end have pyramidal roofs and square blind windows with stone sills and flat-arched heads with keyblocks, as well as quoins.
The right terminal building was formerly connected to farm buildings surrounding the yard at the rear, while the left single-storey wing is open to the yard on three timber posts, providing space for cart standings. Limestone walls with limestone gatepiers and terminal piers, along with cast-iron gates, extend from the ends of the single-storey wings to a ha-ha that separates the garden from the field. Inside, there is a stone-paved staircase hall with a steeply ramped handrail and stick balusters, a grey veined marble chimneypiece in the drawing room, and a stone cellar. This farmhouse, along with its associated farm buildings, is one of several model farms built for the Duke of Grafton.
