Sandylane Farmhouse And Attached Wall To Left

Sandy Lane Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid-18th century, with a possibly slightly earlier range at the rear. It has later additions and alterations. The building is constructed of red brick and features corner pilasters to the left and a similar pilaster to the right of the center. The roof is covered with machine tiles arranged in lozenge-shaped patterns and has crow-step gables. The farmhouse has a T-plan layout, with 19th-century brick lean-tos in the angle at the rear.

The main range is two storeys tall, while the rear range has one storey and an attic, both adorned with dentilled eaves cornices. The front has three widely spaced windows, with late 20th-century casements replacing the original glazing bar sashes. The ground-floor openings have infilled segmental heads. A central mid-19th-century pilastered doorcase features a half-glazed door. There is a prominent rendered ridge stack to the left and an external end stack to the right.

The rendered rear range has two 20th-century casements with segmental heads on the ground floor and two gabled eaves dormers directly above. The roughly central entrance is located behind a 20th-century flat-roofed porch, which has a prominent rendered ridge stack in two sections immediately to the left and a small subsidiary stack to the right.

Attached to the front left corner of the main range is a wall, probably from the 18th century, made of red brick with sandstone coping that ramps down from the junction with the house. The interior could not be inspected during the resurvey in January 1986, but it was noted that the main range has light timber framing in the ground-floor cross-walls.
