Great Lyth Manor

Great Lyth Manor is a small country house built in the mid-17th century, with later alterations and repairs, mainly from the late 20th century. It is constructed of red brick in English bond on a chamfered plinth, topped with machine tile roofs. The building has a U-shaped plan and consists of two storeys and attics. Notable features include corbelled floor bands, a central recessed section with three bays, and two projecting cross-wings with shaped gables. The house has late 20th-century wooden cross-windows throughout, set under gauged heads. The central entrance features six-panel double doors with a blind round-headed modillioned arch above, and a shaped eaves dormer directly above that is also a late 20th-century reconstruction. Prominent integral lateral stacks are located on the side walls, accompanied by slender brick buttresses and rebuilt capping, with a similar stack at the centre of the back wall. The house was derelict until the 1970s and has since undergone extensive restoration. The interior has not been inspected, but it is reported that all fittings have been removed.
