Description

Somerford House is a house dating from the 16th century or early 17th century, constructed from rubble stone and featuring a stone slate roof that is hipped to the west and half hipped to the east, with a ridge stack. The building has two storeys and an attic, with a four-window range of recessed hollow-moulded stone mullion windows that have hoodmoulds, some of which are from the 19th century.

On the left side, there are two three-light windows above and two four-light windows below, while the right side has 19th-century openings in a similar style, including a two-light window above the door and three-light windows on each floor to the right. The door features a moulded stone lintel but is likely altered. There is a hipped stone-slated timber porch. The east end wall contains an original three-light mullion window with a hoodmould that lights the stair, along with a later large timber mullion window in the attic.

The southeast rear wing has similar mullion windows and a large chimney gable on the east side with two shafts to the stack. There is a two-light window on the first floor to the left, and the south end of the wing features an original four-light window on the ground floor and a three-light window on the first floor. The attic has casement windows. The west side has original three-light windows on each floor. The rear of the main range has original three-light windows on each floor to the right, followed by a straight joint and a door with an original single light above. The southwest rear wing is hipped to the south and has a ridge stack, while the east wall is largely from the 19th century.

Inside, the ground floor east room has plaster ceiling decoration that includes "RE 1609" in mirror image. The east end stair features a moulded oak doorway at the foot, a dog-leg enclosed stair with a moulded handrail, and five similar doorways at the first-floor landing. The roof has tie-beam and collar trusses.
