No. 3, Norham Gardens, named "Garford House". Grade II listed. Built in 1866/67, architect: Charles Buckeridge. This photograph shows the house just like it was originally built. Later, in the 1890s it was heavily extended (by about 50%) to the west (right), the entrance was moved to the street side and a large porch was added. The conservatory seen here was demolished, a new one being built at the houses' southeast side. Photographs from the 1960s show a second entrance door, vanished again in the 2000s, thus this house would have had been temporarily subdivided into multiple flats. That's why the brickwork of the front fassade looks a bit cobbled together today. Offered for sale at £ 5.5m in 2017, finally sold in 2022 to Atlantic Institute who refurbished the house as an 8-bedroom fellows residence and named it "Kopanong". The house in the background on the left is No. 5 Norham Gardens (by W. WIlkinson, 1865) which, although later divided into 4 flats, has retained its original character since 150 years. Sources: - T.

This is now owned by the National Trust and can be visited by the public.

Technically this building has all ways been outside the boundaries of Bristol,it is situated betweeb Failand and Clevedon,if you have the chance to visit,do so,as it is an impressive building

Interesting and I think fairly rare clear view of the front before Henry Woodyer's alterations of 1887-90. He added a shallow projection left of hte porch (see note on the photo) containing three bay windows in a row instead of the one here, to light the enlarged dining room. He also made matching windows directly above.

Thank you for your comments!!
