Blythe House

Blythe House is a farmhouse that was rebuilt in the 18th century from a 17th-century house, with early 19th-century additions. It features red brick construction and a tiled roof, with verge parapets on the left end and ridge stacks set in from the ends, the larger stack being on the left. The building has a T-shaped plan and a long, low, two-storey front with three windows, set on a 17th-century chamfered sandstone plinth. The windows are three-light casements, with the left-hand pair in two ranges having gabled brick segmental heads on the ground floor. The main entrance, located centrally between the windows, also has a similar segmental head. The left-hand bay includes double doors leading to the dairy and a loft door above. The right half of the building is an early 19th-century addition, identifiable by a straight joint, and features a single range of windows with a segmental head on the ground floor, along with a stable door in the center of the remaining section. The left gable has stone steps leading up to a first-floor loft door. Inside, there are 17th-century chamfered beams in the dairy and house, and the first floor of the 18th-century part has plaster floors. The continuous 17th-century plinth suggests that the current house was built as a progressive replacement of an older, decaying timber frame.
