| Abstract: |
In September 2007 an historic building assessment was carried out for the farmhouse at Shenley Dens Farm, Shenley Church End, Milton Keynes, to inform proposals for the future of the building, particularly in relation to its relatively recent Grade II listing. Shenley Dens Farmhouse is a two -storey brick building with cellar and attics, under a series of tiled roofs. It lies in the southwest corner of the rectangular farmyard, which is bounded by a series of single-storey buildings on the other three sides. Shenley Dens Farmhouse appears to have been constructed in the late 18th/early 19th century on the site of an earlier building, probably represented by the stone cellar. The timberwork in the cellar and elsewhere in the house dates from the early 17th century, and may have been part of this earlier building, which is likely to have been timber built on limestone footings. Shenley Dens Farmhouse was heavily restored in the late 20th century culminating in the loss of the lath and plaster walls and ceilings, the original windows and much of the original roofs. |
