Kentsford

Probably a late mediaeval house which appears to have been largely rebuilt in the early 17th century with further alterations in the late 17th century/early 18th century. Originally the seat of the Wyndham family.

Roughcast render with dressed stone quoins. Ripped slate roofs, ridge tiles, brick chimney stacks. Two-storeys plus attics, irregular L-shaped plan. Main front facing south-west in 2 sections. Right-hand side, 3 windows at first floor, one 16th century 3-light stone mullioned casement window with leaded lights and hood mould, 2 late 17th century mullion and transom cross windows, casements with lead glazing. Below these windows at ground floor 2 18th century windows, sashes with glazing bars and exposed frames. To the left a 17th century projecting gabled porch, semi-circular stone arch with moulded arch rings and imposts.

The left-hand section of the front breaks forward and has two 3-light casement windows with leaded lights. The interior has been much altered, but rear bedroom retains a plaster ceiling with design of thin moulded ribs in a geometric pattern with Tudor roses and thistles, late 17th century fireplace with bolection moulding.

Similar larger fireplace in ground floor front room.
