Cleeve Court

Cleeve Court is a house dating from the early 19th century. It was built for Reverend T.S. Biddulph. The house is constructed of rubble, with limestone dressings, and has a slate roof with raised coped verges, as well as ridge and side stacks with polygonal chimneys. It is designed in a Gothic style.

The main front has three storeys and six windows. The ground floor features two eight-light chamfered mullion and transom windows, a single-light mullion and transom window with cusped heads and a square stopped hood mould, and a porch (reportedly taken from Court de Wyck, Yatton) with a depressed four-centred arch, shields in the spandrels, a hood mould, half-glazed double doors with Perpendicular tracery, an embattled parapet and a hipped roof. A single-storey block to the left has a two-light casement, cornice, and embattled parapet. The first floor has three mullion and transom windows with pointed arched heads and a relieving arch, and three two-light windows to the right, all with varied cusped tracery and hood moulds. There are three gabled dormers, each with a pointed arched light and trefoils in the gables, and a two-light pointed arched window under the eaves. A weathered buttress is present to the left, with a crest on the first offset.

The right return has two gable ends: a three-storey section to the left and a two-and-a-half-storey section to the right, connected by a two-storey, two-bay range set back. The left section has a canted bay; on the first floor, a three-light window with chamfered mullions; on the second floor, a three-light pointed arched mullion and transom window with a trefoil above. The right section has a canted bay with an embattled parapet and margin glazing, with upper lights featuring four-centred arched glazing. Above this is a three-light window with similar glazing and a blind two-light pointed arched opening in the gable end. The central bays have a cross window and a French window, along with two two-light casements at first floor, all with margin glazing and splayed stone heads.

The left return has varied windows, some being casements, and a small single-storey wing with two sixteen-pane sashes and one two-light casement. The rear features a taller block to the left with a single light and half-glazed door with ogee heads to the panes above, with an overlight and relieving arch. The first floor has a two-light window with similar glazing. A lower two-storey block to the left has a ten-light mullion and transom window with leaded lights and a relieving arch. Above this are two three-light casements with pointed arches to the top panes. The interior was not inspected.
