Description
Hyde Farmhouse is a house that dates back to the 16th century or earlier, with alterations made in the 19th century. It is timber framed and plastered, featuring a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The house has four bays facing southeast and includes an axial stack. There is a 19th-century lean-to extension at the rear of the left end and a two-storey extension at the rear of the right end. The building is one storey with attics and has two mid-19th-century sash windows with six lights, one 19th-century casement window with four lights, and two 19th-century horizontally sliding sash windows with four lights in gabled dormers. The entrance features a 19th-century four-panel door with a shallow hood supported by profiled brackets.
The chimney has two diagonal shafts and a third square shaft grouped together. The structure includes jowled posts, heavy studding with curved tension braces that are trenched to the outside, and a large wood-burning hearth facing to the right with a 20th-century grate to the left. To the left of the stack, there is a chamfered transverse beam with lamb's tongue stops and joists that are plastered to the soffits. To the right of the stack, there is a similar beam on posts with moulded jowls and plain joists of horizontal section supported on pegged clamps. In the right bay, there are longitudinal plain joists of horizontal section supported on pegged clamps, along with a blocked inserted window featuring an ovolo mullion from the early 17th century. The original rebated floorboards are still present.
