The Bailiff'S House And Attached Brick Outbuilding

The Bailiff's House and attached brick outbuilding is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the late 16th century and was remodeled in the early 19th century, with later additions and alterations. The building is timber framed with rendered infill and was formerly slate-hung. It has a slate roof that is hipped to the left. The structure has a basic L-plan, consisting of a hall range that appears to be in two framed bays, with a gabled cross-wing projecting to the rear on the left. The roofs were raised in the early 19th century when the front was slate hung. The house is two storeys high with a gable-lit attic.

The framing features square and rectangular panels, with three panels from the cill to the original wall-plate in the hall range, displaying herringbone patterning to the left, and an infilled two-light window with a curved brace below the center. The timber frame also supports the raising of the eaves. The right gable end has close studding with long straight tension braces on the ground floor and herringbone patterning above. The cross-wing has four small square panels from the cill to the tie beam. There are three windows with 16-paned glazing bar sashes in flush-framed moulded surrounds. The central entrance features a slightly recessed half-glazed door. A red brick ridge stack is located to the left at the former junction between the hall range and the cross-wing, and there is an external end stack to the right.

The attached outbuilding at the rear of the cross-wing has 17th-century red brickwork, an integral end stack, and a corrugated iron roof. The interior was not inspected at the time of the resurvey in February 1987 but is likely to be of interest. The building was formerly known as Yeaton Villa.
