Rockley Farmhouse, Chirbury with Brompton - Shropshire (UA)
This early C17 farmhouse with C20 alterations is built on an H-shape plan and configured as two floors with an attic: the east wing was originally used for stabling and still contains stalls. Constructed in brickwork with steeply pitched tiled roofs, the building has an assortment of building fabric and structural defects affecting the external walls, chimneys and roof. Temporary works to address aspects of structural instability were put in place during the summer of 2019 but the long-term sustainable use of the farmhouse and surrounding land by the Powis Estate is still to be resolved.
