Longmead

Longmead is a house built in 1678, likely for Thomas and Lydia Horton, with mid-18th century and later additions, along with some alterations from the late 20th century. The building is constructed of sandstone ashlar and has a slate roof. It features a central stair hall flanked by two rooms, each with rear stacks. The house is two storeys high and has three windows: two 3-light windows on either side of a 2-light window, all with stone mullions. Above the centre window is a datestone inscribed "H/TL/1678". On the ground floor, there are two 3-light windows beside a central 18th-century porch, which has a moulded cornice and two engaged Doric columns. The left-hand gable has a 4-light window on each floor, and the gable itself displays an exposed timber truss with close-studding. Inside, the dividing walls are timber-framed with four square panels high.
