Hay House Farmhouse

Hay House Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1625, with a late 18th-century addition and late 19th-century alterations. It is constructed from coursed dressed and squared stone, topped with a tiled roof featuring verge parapets on corbelled kneelers and pitched copings. The left parapet has an unusual corniced octagonal miniature chimney-shaped finial, while a corniced octagonal twin-shafted ridge stack is located to the right of the center, above the former entrance, with additional stacks in the valley. The building has a T-shaped plan, with the 18th-century wing added to the rear.

The front of the farmhouse is two stories high and divided into two parts. The projecting wing on the right stands on a plinth and is taller, featuring an attic with a diamond-shaped light above a three-light chamfered mullioned window on the first floor. The ground floor has a similar window, now with two lights, which was originally four lights, and is topped by a stepped label that leads to the datestone inscribed "1625." The long set-back wing to the left has three windows on the first floor, set under the eaves, with two chamfered reveals at the right end. The left-hand window has three lights with chamfered mullions and is situated above the only chamfered reveal on the ground floor, which now has two lights but was originally four. There is a heavy lintel above a 20th-century casement, where the former entrance was located towards the right end, and a 19th-century window and door in the rebuilt section of the wall to the left. The left end features labelled chamfered reveals. The 18th-century addition at the rear is symmetrical, with three windows and a central entrance topped by an arched solid stone hood. At the time of the last survey in March 1985, the cross wing had little roof remaining.
