Baysgarth

Baysgarth, formerly known as Baysgarth House, is an 18th-century building dating from around 1731. It is designed in an L-shape and has two storeys plus an attic, constructed of red brick with a hipped pantiled roof. A brick band runs between the storeys. The south front features six sash windows on the first floor, which have flat arches. The central door is flanked by a blocked oblong fanlight set in a fielded panel reveal, with a surround of Roman Doric half-columns, an entablature, and a pediment. There is a moulded and dentil eaves cornice. The ground floor has six windows with wooden surrounds and cornices, along with two windows that serve as doors. A raised stone tablet on the left side displays an achievement of arms and the date on the pediment. There is a similar doorway on the rear elevation, which includes a radiating fanlight. A Victorian Gothic tablet is located in the hall. Baysgarth, along with its gate piers, garden wall, lodges, and former stables, forms a group with No 2 Caistor Road, which is of local interest.
