Description
This is a house. It was originally an early 17th-century farmhouse, extended in the late 18th century and again around 1925. The exterior is rendered over random rubble, with a moulded plinth. The facade is divided between the ground floor and upper storeys by two pairs of Ionic pilasters, supported by a string course. It has a steeply pitched double Roman tile roof and brick stacks at the rear. The house is double pile, dating back to the 18th century, facing roughly south. The rear retains elements of a three-cell and cross-passage farmhouse, enlarged on the west front around 1925.
The south front has two storeys plus an attic, with five bays. The attic has two-light casements, while the remaining windows are 12-pane sashes, with a central Venetian window above the entrance. The entrance has an open, pedimented doorcase carried on Doric columns with a frieze, a leaded fanlight, and a 20th-century glass door.
Inside the farmhouse, now known as No.2 Shurton Court, are chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, and a bressumer across the fireplace bay with cambered heads to the former stair and smoking chamber bays, flanking a modern grate. The remains of a plank and muntin screen are likely concealed behind wallpaper to the left. Before its alterations, the facade of Shurton Court resembles that of Kilve Court in Kilve CP and was likely designed by the same person. A photograph is held within the National Monument Record.
