Pye Corner

Pye Corner is a house dating from the 17th century and late 18th century, with restoration around 1900. It is built from limestone rubble and has a stone slate roof. The house is two storeys high, featuring two bays on each side of the doorway. The windows have plain reveals, keyed lintels, and timber casements with three lights, a transom, and leaded glazing. Above the doorway is a blind recess with a round head, plain stone surround, impost blocks, and a keystone. The six-panelled door has a quoined surround, a transom light, and a projecting timber hood supported by iron brackets. The gables are coped, and the chimneys, located on the gables and to the right of the first and third bays, have moulded weatherings and cornices. The south gable wall features a two-storey square stone bay window from the late 19th or early 20th century. To its left, there is a rear wing with 17th-century rebated and chamfered mullioned windows. A parallel rear wing has similar mullioned windows, mostly from around 1900. A blocked first-floor doorway in its gable wall indicates that it was once an agricultural building. Between the wings is a stair turret with windows that were renewed around 1900. Inside, there are chamfered and stopped ceiling beams. The middle room contains an inglenook with a bressummer supported on 20th-century carved stone columns. The dog-leg stair features an open string, turned newels, stick balusters, and a ramped handrail.
