Description
Matford House is a house that was originally built as the end pavilion of an asylum between 1833 and 1835 for Dr. Henry Hawes Fox, designed by the Bristol architect Charles Underwood. The building features ashlar and lined out render. It has two storeys and three windows, all of which are sash windows. An off-centre porch on the right is supported by paired straight columns and carries an entablature; this porch is an addition. The house has a plinth and a band, with the centre bay slightly projecting forward. The first floor features four pilasters flanking a window that has a frame and pediment, and this section carries a cornice and a panelled parapet. The flanking windows are set in recessed panels below the cornice. There is a 20th-century flat roof extension on the left side and a 20th-century conservatory bay on the right. The rear of the house is identical to the front but does not have the porch and has multi-pane sashes on the north side.
