Bayhouse Farmhouse

Bayhouse Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1684, although it has a core that is considerably older, likely from the late 16th century. The building is constructed of coursed rubble with quoins and features a stone tiled roof. It has two storeys and a three-unit plan, with a door located to the left of the centre of the elevation. Each floor has various three-light casement windows with chamfered timber lintels. The gable walls each have two flat chamfered stone mullioned windows with hoodmoulds. At the rear, there are additional casement windows and a blocked fire window. The line of the former roof level can be seen below the first-floor windows on both elevations. There is a date with initials ID on a shield to the right of the doorway. The interior has a baffle entry plan with back-to-back inglenooks separated by a wide chimney flue, a heavy timbered roof, and some close studded partitions upstairs. There is a rear wing that is two storeys and of a later date, featuring a former entrance at first-floor level on the west wall and various casement windows on each floor, with lead glazing.
