[6] Fanshawe was responsible for creating the Long Plantation, along the boundary with the neighbouring Eyhurst estate, and may also have planted Tickner's and Poorfield Woods.

[9] His son, John Garrett Cattley, who inherited Shabden in 1862, commissioned Edward Middleton Barry to rebuild and enlarge the existing mansion house.

[5][9] The architectural critics, Nikolaus Pevsner and Ian Nairn, describe Barry's house as being "very Victorian" and the style as being "uncompromising symmetrical French Renaissance", also noting the "elephantine timber porch".

[6][11] Surrey County Council bought Shabden Park for £65,000 that December,[12] turning the mansion into a geriatric hospital for elderly ladies.

[12] In the late 1970s, the geriatric hospital closed and Surrey County Council divided the house into apartments, which were each allocated a share of the grounds.
