Description

Dynes Farmhouse is a house dating from around 1600, with alterations made in the 18th and 20th centuries. It is timber framed and plastered, with a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The house has four bays facing southeast, featuring an axial stack in the second bay from the left, which creates a lobby entrance, and an original rear wing located behind the stack. There are 18th-century extensions at both rear corners that form a parallel range to the back of the house.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a four-window range of early 20th-century casements. A plain boarded door from the 20th century is located in a lean-to porch. The house features grouped diagonal shafts and two 19th-century horizontally sliding sashes with 12 lights in the right return wall. Notable architectural details include jowled posts, curved tension braces set inside heavy studs, face-halved and bladed scarfs in the wallplates, and chamfered axial beams with lamb's tongue stops.

There are blocked small windows at the front of the room to the right of the stack, which were originally part of a frieze group. The hearths on the ground and first floors face to the left and have rounded backs, which is an unusual feature. The rear wall of the original wing, which was once a single storey, has been raised approximately 1.5 metres during the 18th-century alterations, although the end tiebeam remains intact.
