Shurton Lodge And Outbuilding Attached At South East Corner

Shurton Lodge is a house dating from the 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th and mid-19th centuries. It is constructed of blue lias rubble, partly rendered, with a slate roof. The building has brick stacks at the left gable end and to the left of the cross passage. Originally a three-cell house with a cross passage, it was converted into two dwellings in the mid-19th century, with an addition to the North East corner. The house has two storeys and five bays, with mid- to late-19th century windows. The first-floor windows are two-light casements, while the ground floor features two canted brick bays with slate roofs, alongside mullioned and transomed windows framing a plank door on the left. A plank door and a two-light casement mark the original entrance on the right.

Inside, two bedrooms contain raised and fielded panelling with early 18th-century overmantel paintings, depicting an Arcadia scene and a river scene. An outbuilding is attached to the South East corner, originally a granary over a byre and now a storehouse. The outbuilding is two storeys with two bays; it has a first-floor window and a plank door on the right, accessible by an external stone staircase. The ground floor has a central plank door.
