Lingwoods

Lingwoods is a house dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is timber framed, partially covered with painted brick in Flemish bond, and partly plastered, with a roof made of handmade red plain tiles. The building has three bays facing southwest, featuring a late 16th-century axial stack located between the middle and right bays. There is a 19th-century external stack at the left end, which is enclosed by a single-storey lean-to extension that has an internal stack at the rear. A single-storey lean-to extension with a slate roof runs along the entire length of the rear. At the rear left corner, there is a brick shed with a lean-to roof made of corrugated asbestos.

The house is two storeys high. On the ground floor, there are three late 19th-century sash windows with marginal lights. The first floor has one similar sash window and one early 19th-century sash window with 16 lights. The entrance features a half-glazed door from the 19th century. The eaves have a dentilled course, and the roof is hipped at both ends. An early 19th-century brick facade with a dentilled parapet conceals the lean-to extension at the left end.

Inside, the right bay contains a mid-16th-century floor with a chamfered axial beam, two joggled chamfered bridging beams, and chamfered joists of horizontal section, all featuring step stops. To the left of the stack, there is a chamfered binding beam with lamb's tongue stops and plain joists of vertical section, all from the 17th century. The stack has been mostly rebuilt on the ground floor in an open plan ranch style, retaining one chamfered mantel beam that is set into new brickwork, with the upper part complete. The building features jowled posts, and the walls have been raised approximately 1.5 metres, likely in the early 19th century, with the original framing still visible below. Internal tiebeams have been removed or severed.
