Sandford House

Sandford House is a late 17th-century building, originally several cottages, that has been combined into a single private house. It was significantly altered in the early 19th century and restored in the 1980s. The house is constructed of squared rubble stone with tooled stone dressings, with the east wing facing in ashlar. It has a Cotswold stone slate roof. A large, projecting stepped stone stack, added in the early 18th century, rises from the gable to the west, and a twin ridge stack sits on the gable to the northwest. The east wing is higher and has two gable stacks and a 20th-century ridge stack. The west wing is two storeys high, in an L-shape, with the remains of the original rooflines of the former cottages still visible on the west-facing wall.

The south front of the west wing has three windows with restored 3/2/3-light stone mullions. A central doorcase, probably dating to the early 18th century, features a 20th-century door and a wide porch with two Doric columns on bases, supporting a plain frieze and cornice. The porch is flanked by a single 4-light stone mullion and transom window. The east wing is two storeys high with an attic containing two hipped dormers. Its south front has four windows; two narrow decorative glass sashes to the left and two wider 4-pane sashes to the right, all dating from the late 19th century. Originally, there were similar windows on the ground floor, but two doorways were inserted in 1983. These doorways each have a large, flat stone hood supported by brackets, and one ground floor window is a 4-pane sash.
