Bybrook Farmhouse

Bybrook Farmhouse is a house dating back to the 16th century, with substantial work undertaken in 1593 and largely refaced in the 19th century. The house is constructed of granite and slate rubble stone, with red brick and plain tile roofing, featuring end and central ridge stacks. The upper floor is partially rendered. The front facade has two storeys of casement windows: three 2-light, two 3-light, and one 2-light window, each with a small gable. A porch and a central door are flanked by two 3-light casement windows to the left and a single window to the right. A 2-light casement window is located on the first floor at the left end, and a 1-light window at the right end. A single-storey wing from 1593 is attached to the rear, featuring a 20th-century tile roof, doors, and casement windows, along with an outshut. The interior reveals two and a half pairs of cruck blades, an inglenook fireplace, and a beam in the rear room inscribed ‘RGMB : Mic : AD1593’, along with further original beams, wall posts, and old doors. The house, along with a barn and cottage, form an interesting group.
