Forde House

Forde House is an early 19th-century house located on the south side of Briton Street in Bampton. It is constructed of colourwashed stuccoed stone rubble and features a slate roof that is hipped at both ends, with two stacks at each end topped with rendered shafts. The house has a double depth plan, two rooms wide, with a central entrance passage that contains the staircase and a rear left wing.

The exterior is two storeys high with deep eaves. The central entrance features a four-panel front door with a rectangular fanlight above it, flanked by pilasters with sunk mouldings and large carved brackets that support a cornice. The windows are four-pane sashes, likely from the early 20th century, which replaced earlier sashes that had smaller glazing bars. The rear elevation includes an early 19th-century lattice porch and a round-headed stair window.

Inside, the house remains largely unmodernized, with a stick baluster staircase and other original joinery still intact.
