Description

Winton House and Lyonshall Village Store and Post Office is a building that dates back to the 16th century or earlier, with extensions made in the late 16th or 17th century and again in the 18th or 19th century. It features a timber frame with plastered panels, a ground floor that is rendered and has exposed stone, and a slate roof with a gable end and a hipped cross-wing, while the rear is covered with concrete tiles. There is a painted stone stack at the gable end with a brick shaft.

The building is L-shaped in plan, with the main range on the left (Winton House) likely being the original structure. The cross-wing on the right (Village Store) is an addition from the late 16th or 17th century, which was later extended at the back in the late 17th or early 18th century and again as a cottage in the 18th or 19th century. There is an outshut behind the main range.

It has two storeys and an asymmetrical northwest front. The main range consists of six bays with larger framing and rendered ground floor, where the second bay from the left has no rail and may be a blocked window. The slightly projecting hipped roof cross-wing on the right has a close-studded first floor that jetties out over a moulded bressumer and is underbuilt in rendered stone. There are 20th-century casements on the left and a 12-pane sash window from the 19th century on the first floor of the cross-wing, which has a fielded panel door below with a 20th-century canopy. A similar canopy is over the panelled door on the left. The left-hand gable end and the right side of the cross-wing have 12-pane sashes, with the right side featuring a close-studded first floor with tension braces and a canted bay. There is a lower range at the rear (southeast) of the cross-wing, which has a brick lateral stack and a doorway with a 4-pane sash to the left and a loft door to the right. At the rear, the main range roof extends down as a catslide over the rear outshut, with a 12-pane sash on the side of the cross-wing.

Inside, only the shop front room in the cross-wing has been inspected. It features a moulded plaster cornice from the late 17th or early 18th century with oak leaf decoration and an eared architrave doorcase.
