Cleeve Wood And Coach House Wing

The C18 house was extensively remodelled in the early 19th century. The principal elevation, which originally faced north-west and was situated above the River Frome, is now largely obscured by trees. The facade is characterised by a symmetrical design in a Greek Revival style. The house is rendered and grooved, with an ashlar plinth, dressings, and features. It is two storeys high, with the facade divided into three units. The end bays feature applied Doric pilasters that create a slight break in the design. Two two-storey bowed bays are centrally placed, separated by a deep recess. The pilasters continue upwards to form a continuous architrave, frieze, moulded cornice, and a plain parapet with moulded coping. The windows are glazing bar sashes. The end bays each have a tripartite sash window on both floors, except for the ground floor right-hand side, which has an angular bay. First-floor windows are recessed, while the ground-floor windows feature end pilasters and pilaster mullions supporting a frieze and cornice. The bowed bays are segmental in plan, topped with an entablature and parapet. They have moulded architraves to their windows and a plain cill band to the first floor. The central door and window above are set in a recess, with the door flanked by Ionic columns capped by an entablature and balustered parapet, forming a first-floor balcony. A panelled door is fitted with an arched fanlight. The left-hand return elevation has a coped parapet and irregular window placement – four windows on the first floor and three on the ground floor. The windows are sashes set within reveals, alongside an arched doorway to the right, featuring an open pediment on brackets, and a panelled door with a traceried fanlight. A fluted lead rainwater head is located on the left. A contiguous coach house wing of a lower height extends to the left, with coping rising to a high level. It has an elliptical-headed entrance with a keystone and double doors. The south front features a three-bay break with a returned frieze, cornice, and parapet, flanked by ashlar pilasters and glazing bar sashes within moulded architraves. Inside, a horseshoe-shaped staircase has wrought and cast iron balusters.
