Norwood is a historic plantation house and farm located near Berryville, Clarke County, Virginia. The main house was built about 1819, and consists of a two-story, three-bay, brick main block with two-story, brick side wing in the Federal-style. The front facade features a classical one-story, one-bay portico with Doric order columns. Also on the property are the contributing brick meathouse, which dates to the same period as the main house; a late 19th-century frame tenant house; and several late 19th-century agricultural buildings.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[1]
