Listed Building record MDO13515 - Stalbridge Park Farmhouse, Stalbridge

Early nineteenth century farmhouse with symmetrical façade. Thought to incorporate some fragments of stonework from an earlier building, presumably the manor house built around 1600 and demolished in 1822.

Park Farm, house, about 50 yards north west of the manor house site, is of two storeys with attics and has rendered walls and stone slated roofs; it is probably of the first half of the 19th century. The south front is symmetrical and of five bays, with a central doorway and mullioned and transomed two light windows in both storeys at the base is a rubble plinth with an ashlar capping. In the middle bay the capping is hollow chamfered and roil moulded and this is presumably a fragment from the manor house; the same mouldings occur more consistently in the plinths of the east and west walls; elsewhere the capping is chamfered. The middle bay of the south front has a 19th century ashlar porch, on each side of which is reset an early 17th century shell headed stone niche. <2> Park Farm, name confirmed, remains as described by Authority 2. It incorporates probable fragments from the 17th century Manor House, (ST 71 NW 1), but is not an outstanding building. <3>
