Description

Northfield House is a detached house that was formerly a farmhouse, built in the early 19th century. It is constructed from local lias stone that has been cut and squared, topped with a plain clay tile roof over a stone slate base course, and features coped gables. The house has two storeys and a three-bay south elevation, with extensions added to both sides.

The windows are side margined sash windows set in plain openings with stone lintels above. To the east, there is a two-bay extension, which may have been a separate structure, that is single storey with an attic. This extension features three-light casement windows below and 12-pane sash windows in flat-roofed dormers above. Between the bays, there is an early 20th-century part-glazed door in a plain opening, sheltered by a flat stone hood.

To the west, there is a single-storey pantiled extension with four bays, one of which is a later addition, and it includes casement windows. At the rear, there is an outshut extension that connects to a covered way leading to a hipped slate-roofed plain barn on the north side. The interior has not been seen.
