Cleridge, also known as Sunnyside Farm, is a historic home and farm complex located near Stephenson, in Frederick County, Virginia. The main house was built about 1790, and is a 2+12-story, five-bay, Federal style brick dwelling. It has a 2+12-story, four-bay, brick addition added in 1882–1883. Also on the property are the contributing brick well structure, the frame icehouse/blacksmith shop, a frame carriage house, the brick-entry, a frame poultry house, and a farm manager's house (c. 1815). The cultivated and forested land is considered a contributing agricultural site.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.[1]
