Annefield is a historic plantation home located near Boyce, Clarke County, Virginia. It was built about 1790, and is a two-story, stone mansion, seven bays by four bays, with a hipped roof. It has a 1 1/2-story, stuccoed frame rear ell. It features a modillioned cornice, balustraded deck, two-level pedimented porch supported by Roman Ionic columns, and four interior end chimneys.
