Eastwood Manor Farm Steading in East Harptree, Somerset, England is a Grade I listed building.[1][2]

The farm including the site for the construction of Eastwood Manor was bought by Charles Adams Kemble (son of the Reverend Charles Kemble, rector of Bath) in the 1860s.[3] A series of fishponds were created on the farm by damming a small stream.[4]

The barn covers 1.25 acres (0.51 ha) with 5 bays to the main facade. Cast iron pillars support the brickwork and wagon roof.[5] It contained several feed stores, two bullock yards with fountains, a flax mill, cider press and threshing machine. The machinery was powered by a water mill which was replaced by steam, oil and diesel engines.[6]
