Laneside Farm

Laneside Farm is a model farmhouse and farm buildings dating from around 1899, with some 20th-century alterations. It was built for Lord Howard and features a Swiss architectural style. The buildings are constructed from blue brick with red brick and ashlar dressings, topped with plain tile roofs that have overhanging eaves.

The complex consists of two-storey and single-storey structures arranged around three sides of a courtyard, with the farmhouse and dairy located at the rear of the east side. A prominent four-stage tower is situated at the northeast corner, featuring a square plan, double-tier, bell-canted pyramidal roofs with a weather vane finial, glazing bar windows on the ground floor, single loft doors for the granary above, and a single dormer on each face of the lower roof, topped by a wooden louvred ventilator at the top stage.

Other notable buildings include a large two-storey shippon on the east side, which has a central glazing bar window flanked by single cart entrances on the south front, and above it, a central round-headed loft door flanked by single glazing bar windows. To the west of the shippon are two walled pig sties, originally five, and the west range includes an open four-bay single-storey cart shed supported by brick piers. The entrance to the south features low curved walls and square gate piers with ashlar pyramidal caps. To the north of the north range, there are remains of a horse gin.

The farmhouse is L-shaped with a porch at the angle. The dairy was originally intended to have a thatched roof and features hoodmoulds over the window openings, with an open verandah still surviving. The Smithy has been demolished. The interior was not inspected as access was denied.
