Somerford Keynes House

Somerford Keynes House is a large detached house, originally a vicarage until 1916. The core of the building was begun in 1804 for Rev. Nathaniel George Woodrooffe, with significant additions to the east and west in 1853, and further enlargement to the east in 1920. The original section is faced with ashlar, while the sides have coursed and dressed stone, with flush quoins on the west side. The roof is slate, with deep eaves and ashlar stacks featuring moulded cornices.

The main, south-facing front has ten windows, all with 12 panes and some with louvred shutters. A half-glazed door is positioned on the far right, above a decorative fanlight. The west end features two full-height windows. The north front steps back twice from east to west and incorporates nine 12-pane sashes. The central, oldest section on this side is constructed of coursed dressed stone and features a stone Doric porch with two columns on bases, two pilasters, an entablature, and a blocking course. This porch provides access to a four-panel door with recessed moulded panels in two leaves. A long, 24-pane stair window is located to the left of the porch.

The interior remains largely intact, including a baluster staircase in the central section.
