Description
Bay House is a 17th-century cottage located on the west side of Preston Main Street. The building is constructed of rubble and ashlar with a stone tile roof and has one and a half storeys. The main range features four half dormers, which include two sash windows, one casement window with leaded lights, and another sash window. On the ground floor, there are two four-light stone mullioned windows flanking a tripartite bay with sash windows, along with a small window to the left and a three-light casement window. The entrance has an ashlar dressed doorway with a panelled door. There are three ashlar stacks, two at the gable ends and one centrally located. To the left, the first lower wing has two leaded dormers above a timber lintelled entry to the yard. The second lower wing is an attached barn from the 19th century, which features three ventilating windows.
