Description
Lady Meadow is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with extensions made from the late 17th century to the early 18th century, and some restoration in the late 20th century. The building features a timber frame with rendered infill, which has been extended in brick with stone dressings, all under a tiled roof. It is designed in an L-plan, with the 17th-century range located to the west and the 18th-century range to the north.
The external chimney stack is located on the north gable and is integral to the east front wall. The east front has two storeys and is accented with ashlar quoins. There are four windows, each consisting of two-light casements set under rubbed brick heads, with the surrounds highlighted in a redder brick. The entrance, located to the left of centre and approached by four steps, features a rubbed brick head, an overlight, and a six-panelled door. There is also an entrance in the south wall that has semi-circular stone steps with seven risers.
At the west end of the rear range, there is a jettied cross-wing supported by a bressummer on scroll brackets. The first floor has four square panels high, with the gable above featuring three struts to the collar and trenched purlins. Inside, the west wing displays exposed chamfered and stopped ceiling beams. The north range includes window shutters with raised and fielded panels. The entrance hall contains a corner cupboard with a shell canopy, and the staircase, dating from the early 18th century, has turned balusters and a moulded handrail.
