Clonterbrook House, Manor house in Swettenham, England.
Clonterbrook House is a manor in Swettenham built from brick with a slate roof, rising two storeys with an attic level and five window sections across its front. The property includes three separate farm buildings that are individually listed as Grade II heritage structures.
The house was built in 1697 for Jeffery and Katherine Lockett during the late 17th century. The Lockett family regained ownership in 1939 after the property had passed to different hands over the preceding centuries.
The farm buildings have been transformed into spaces for music, work, and art display, reflecting how this place adapts to what its residents need today. These conversions show how older structures remain part of daily life.
The house holds Grade II* listing status, meaning it receives formal heritage protection that affects its maintenance and access. The property maintains a rural setting with period farm buildings that are part of the broader grounds.
One of the farm buildings was damaged during an air raid in 1941 and later rebuilt, carrying marks of that wartime event into the present day. This remnant of conflict adds a layer to the property's story that goes beyond its peaceful rural setting.
