The Shrubbery, Withington
Image: © Richard Law Taken: 18 Jul 2021
A house which rather hides its best features away, and lurks behind foliage at the front to boot. Despite appearances from this direction, it's actually an early-to-mid 17th century timber-framed building, with later extensions and modifications. It retains a number of interesting period features internally, such as a cooling shelf in the former dairy room, and fireplaces, doors and a staircase which date back to its early days. Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101223162-the-shrubbery-withington#.Ynyv4-jMI2w & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1223162 in 1985.
