Clova [NAT]

OS 1:10,000 map, 1972.

Clova House. This mansion house stands on a gentle slope at an altitude of 249m OD. It was built in the mid 18th century and the pedimented centre door bears a date of 1760. The original part of the house comprises three storeys and an attic with a pronounced bell-cast to the roof. The interior was largely rebuilt in about 1810 after a fire, but the atircase is original. The south wing was added in about 1850 with a poorly-designed NE wing added in about 1880.

The (B-listed) farmsteading and stables (NJ42SE 37.01) lie to the W of the house.
