Listed Building record MDO47096 - East Almer Farmhouse, Sturminster Marshall

SY 919991. East Almer Farmhouse with walls of rubble and flint is 15th century: a change in construction in the middle suggests that it is a rebuilding of an earlier house carried out in two stages. In the late 17th or early 18th century the house was lengthened and modern additions have been made to the back surrounding a staircase projection added in the late 16th century. The house has been drastically remodelled but originally consisted of a hall with a great chamber over it with a plaster-barrel-vaulted ceiling, in line with these, a smaller room on each floor to the south east; probably a solar above and service below. <2>
