Shirenewton Hall

The house is built of dark limestone rubble with Bath stone dressings and has a stone slate roof. It has an asymmetrical six bay, two storey and attic entrance (west) front. It is in a Tudorbethan style as was popular in 1830, with the Edwardian section in a similar character. There are rectangular dripmoulds to stone mullioned and transomed windows, and lozenge and rectangular leaded cames. There is a two storey porch offset to the right with a shaped gable over, and a 4-centred moulded entrance arch under a 3-light transomed window. Main boarded door under the porch and a smaller door offset to the left. Large square bay windows to left and right with an oriel above left and pierced diamond pattern parapet to right. Other 2 and 3-light windows. Varied roofline with diagonally set stone stacks. gables with ball finials, and arched panels to solid parapets. Full-height blind gable end facing forward on the right. Lower 2 storey return wing on left, this is the Edwardian section. The elevation (north) facing the Crick Road has two gables to the left, otherwise the detail is similar in character to the earlier work. Rear (east) elevation not seen closely at the time of resurvey. It has a similar character to the rest but dates mostly from c1910. Garden (south) elevation not seen closely at the time of resurvey. Illustrations show it to have four bays of the 1830 house to the left with a bay window of 6 lights to the left with a 3-light window with a shaped gable above. In the centre are 2 and 3-light windows. To the right a two storey bay window with 4-light mullion and transom windows and a large Flemish gable above. To the right of this is a four bay loggia of rounded arches with a strapwork parapet with three windows above, and then the four storey tower with a corbelled out upper storey and crenellations. This may retain fabric from an older building. Formal terraced forecourt and terraced gardens with various Chinese and Japanese pots and bronze vases and dishes.

Interior not available for inspection at the time of resurvey.
