Wadeford House

Wadeford House is a house dating from the early 19th century, with extensions added in the late 19th century. It is constructed of random rubble chert stone with ham stone dressings, quoins, and a slate roof with coped verges. Brick stacks have chamfered caps. The house is arranged in a 'U' shape, facing west, and includes a north extension acting as a service wing. The two-storey, four-bay main section has full-height canted bays with hipped roofs flanking the entrance. There are three-light mullioned stone casements with quadrant stays throughout. A flat-roofed pilaster porch with a moulded cornice shelters a 19th-century part-glazed door. A conservatory is attached to the south gable end, adjoining a projecting south-east block. A service range runs along the north front and extends eastwards, incorporating outbuildings and a garden wall. The garden wall features a gabled opening in brick, a semi-circular headed opening, and a keystone. A carved stone piece bearing an armorial crest and the motto 'Sola fides sufficit' was found beside the front door during a survey in November 1985.
