Lye Court Farmhouse

Lye Court Farmhouse is a late 17th-century farmhouse that was restored in the late 20th century. It features a timber-frame structure with rendered infill set on a coursed rubble plinth and has a stone tile roof. The building is designed in an H-plan with a central stack and an external lateral stack on the north cross-wing. It stands two storeys high, with gabled cross-wings on both the left and right sides. The front has a window arrangement of 1 + 2 + 1 on the upper floor, mostly consisting of 2-light casements within moulded wooden architraves, while the ground floor has 1 + 2 + 2 windows, with the left side having two-light windows and the others mainly featuring 3-light casements. The entrance is located at the angle with the left-hand cross-wing and includes a tiled canopy and a ledged and boarded door. The framing of the farmhouse mainly consists of four rectangular panels high, and the gables each have two collars and multiple struts. The right-hand cross-wing also features a straight tension brace on the second floor.
