Eastwood Manor Farm Steading in East Harptree, Somerset, England is a Grade I listed building.
It was built in 1860 by Robert Smith for William Taylor at a cost of £1,500. Taylor had been the butler to Sir William Gourney of Gourney Court in West Harptree who married his masters daughter and inherited the family fortune.
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. A series of fishponds were created on the farm by damming a small stream.
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. 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 millm which was replaced by steam, oil and diesel engines.
