Description
Lythe is a house dating from 1679, which has been altered, and it has a barn adjoining to the south that is probably from the late 18th century. The house is constructed of sandstone rubble and has a tiled roof, while the barn has a slate roof. It is two storeys high.
On the east wall of the house, there is an enlarged window on the left with a rebated and chamfered surround and a hood. Further to the right, there is a blocked one-light window with a similar rebated and chamfered surround under a hood, which extends over a four-light window with flat-faced mullions. The first floor features three windows with plain reveals, and there are chimneys at both ends of the house.
The current entrance is located through the north wall of an outshut added at the rear of the house. This doorway appears to have been re-set and features a moulded surround with a lintel that is decorated with leaf and tendril designs, inscribed with 'RSE 1679'.
The barn, located to the left of the house's east facade, has a wide entrance with a segmental arch and keystone, which is now partly blocked with brickwork. To the right of the barn entrance is a door with plain reveals, and to the left is a pitching hole with brick reveals. The interior of the house was not accessible at the time of the survey but is said to have exposed ceiling beams.
