Southfield House

Southfield House is a house, originally dating to the 17th century, but significantly altered in the late 18th century for the Node family. The house has a rubble plinth with a moulded band, rendered walls that appear as ashlar, rusticated quoins, a moulded cornice, a parapet with coping, and a double-Roman tile roof. There are three late 19th-century dormers with casements, and two brick ridge stacks with oversailing courses. The front elevation is symmetrical and classical in style. It is two storeys and an attic, with six bays, featuring 12-pane sash windows in bead moulded stone surrounds. A central doorway is set within a plain stone surround, leading to a projecting semicircular stone porch supported by two Tuscan columns and two pilasters. The porch has an entablature displaying six triglyphs with guttae, a moulded dentil cornice, and a plain parapet above. The doorway itself has a five-panelled door and a leaded transom light. The interior of the house retains numerous 18th-century features, including a staircase, ornamental plasterwork, and fireplaces.
