Bywell House

Bywell House is a house in multiple occupancy, with the main block dating from the early 19th century, a south wing added in the mid-19th century, and a north wing constructed in 1890, which incorporates parts from the 18th century at the rear. The front is made of squared stone with ashlar dressings, while the wings are also ashlar. The left return and rear are built with coursed roughly-squared stone, and the right return features snecked tooled stone. The roof is primarily stone slate, except for Welsh slates on the south wing.

The front of the building is divided into three parts: the center is two stories high with four bays. In the second bay, there are three steps leading up to a six-panel door with a three-pane overlight, set within an architrave that has a cornice that breaks forward at the ends. There is a flood mark from 1855 on the left jamb. The windows are 12-pane sash windows in architraves, with the lower ones featuring cornices. The broad square end stacks have panelled corniced shafts. The flanking gabled wings have sash windows, with four panes in the left wing and twelve panes in the right, all set in architraves with slits above; the gables are coped with moulded kneelers and trefoil finials.

The left return features a six-panel door with a plain overlight and a tripartite sash window to the left. The right return has similar doors flanking a projecting bay with a triple sash window, and three 12-pane sashes above. The rear elevation is more complex, featuring similar doors and various sash windows, along with stepped and corniced stacks.

Inside, the central pane of the front door overlight has painted glass depicting a White Horse, indicating that the building was once an inn. The interior includes an open-string geometrical staircase with a turned newel at the foot, stick balusters, and a swept moulded handrail, along with six-panel doors throughout.
