Description

Lydehole Farmhouse is a late 17th-century farmhouse constructed with a timber frame and plaster, topped by a steep-pitched Welsh slate roof. It features a rubble ridge stack with a brick chimney and a brick external stack on the left side. The building has a two-bay plan, with a brick bay on the right.

The exterior is single-storey with an attic. The entrance is located to the centre left, consisting of a plank door set in a 19th-century brick gabled porch with a plain tile roof. To the left of the entrance are French windows, while to the right is a 20th-century casement window. The far right has a 19th-century and 20th-century brick and rubble bay, which includes a 19th-century two-light casement window. There is also a 3/3 sash window in an altered opening on the right returned side. At the rear, there is a 20th-century box dormer above a 20th-century casement window, along with a battened plank door and a cast-iron light to the left.

Inside, the farmhouse features ogee-stop chamfered ceiling beams and exposed timber-framing. There is a blocked stone fireplace with a timber lintel.
