Description
Pynes House is a house dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century, with later alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is timber-framed and finished with roughcast render, featuring painted brick stacks at both ends and a rear stack. The house has two storeys and a double pile plan, with a symmetrical facade consisting of three bays. The entrance is marked by a late 18th century six-panelled door, which is framed by a moulded wooden architrave and an enriched cornice, topped with a flat canopy supported by shaped 19th century brackets. The windows are two and three-light transomed casements, each with moulded cills and cornices. The house was possibly constructed by Benjamin Pyne, the chapel minister from 1794 to 1833, and was acquired by the chapel around 1888.
