Description
Lane End is a farmhouse that has been divided into two residences. It likely dates back to the early 16th century, with a hall range that was completed in 1601. There are late 19th century and early 20th century additions to the structure. The building is timber framed with plastered infill panels set on a dressed grey sandstone plinth, and it includes rendered brick and grey sandstone rubble additions. The roofs are covered with plain tiles.
The framing features large square panels from the sole plate to the wall plate, supported by large curved arched braces from the 16th century. The ground floor has close studding from the 17th century, with long straight tension braces, while the first floor has closely spaced uprights with a middle rail. The early 17th century baffle-entry hall range consists of two framed bays, with a flush gabled cross wing to the southwest, also comprising two framed bays. The building has two storeys.
On the southeast front, the hall range has a first floor that jetties out continuously on three sides, supported by posts with hewn stepped brackets. There is an off-centre brick ridge stack to the right, which was rebuilt above the roof in the 20th century, and a rendered integral brick end stack at the rear of the cross wing. The hall range features two windows with 19th century three-light wooden framed metal casements. There is a roughly central 20th century boarded door, inscribed above with "TIM 1601". The right-hand gable end has a blocked first-floor window and a jettied gable with quatrefoiled square panels. The cross wing to the left has a first-floor 20th century two-light wooden casement and two small ground-floor 19th century wooden casements. The gable includes a truss with a cambered tie-beam and a central strut, which has been altered. The central entrance is located in the left-hand return front. At the rear of the hall range, there is an early 20th century one-storey service block made of sandstone rubble.
Inside, the cross wing features large joists and beams with wide chamfers, while the hall range has chamfered spine beams.
