Habberley Hall (nameplate confirms) at SJ 39740361, is a half-timbered private residence of H-plan design, dated 1593. It is of two storeys with gabled attics, the floors jettied one above the other. 18th century dormer windows have been let into the red-tiled roofs, but the brick chimneys are ornamental originals. To the south is a 19th century addition, and to the north, a 20th century addition. The house is in fair condition (F1 ASP 18-DEC-79).
Evaluated for MPP in 1990-1, Medium score as one of 20 Ringworks. At Habberley Hall (PRN 13303) there is a possible site of a castle? (Hogg and King).
The medieval manor house, recorded at Habberley in 1380, would presumably have occupied the site of Habbeley Hall, for the low mound on which the house stands is likely to be a castle site, probably a ringwork (VCH 1968). (Shropshire HER)
Reputed to occupy the site of a ringwork, but there are no visible remains and no tradition of a castle here. (Jackson 1988)
