2. C17 with an C18 addition, extensively altered and extended in 1834 as recorded by a datestone on the W porch. The C19 work was carried out for the Barrington family when they were building nearby Beckett Hall. The close similarity in style between Beckett Hall and Shrivenham House suggests that the Barringtons commissioned the same architect William Atkinson, for designs for both houses. Shrivenham House is built of rubble stone and some incised roughcast with stone dressings and gabled stone tiled roofs with several banks of C19 diamond shaped stone stacks. The original C17 house consisted of a single 2 storey range on a N/S axis with a principal W front. A wing projecting E was added in the C18 to the N wall of this range. This L shaped plan was made rectangular by the 1834 additions. The 2 storey, 5 bay C17 W front is now C19 Tudor Gothic in character. The upper floor windows are either 3 or 4 light mullions under flat heads, those on the ground floor are similar but less regular with one 5 light window in the right hand bay now blocked up. A centrally placed 2 storey gabled porch projects with the datestone in its apex, a 3 light stone; mullioned window to the upper floor and below, a Tudor arched doorway with a dripstone and a plank door. Inside there are several C19 Tudor Gothic stone fireplaces in the principal wing, one late C17 fire surround with a pulvinated frieze and eared architrave in the SE wing and a Cl9 Gothic staircase with wrought iron balusters.
