Summary
Sundial Farmhouse is a timber-framed house, the majority of which dates to around 1605, although it contains an earlier wing which may have been a medieval hall house before it was adapted into a kitchen wing. Further alterations occurred in the 18th century, when the east end was faced in brick. Interestingly, the staircase and wooden panelling is said to come from Shelton Hall (NHER 10175).
