Description
Tye Homestead is a 17th-century cottage located on Tye Road in Great Bentley. It is constructed with a timber frame and plastered exterior, topped with a red pantiled sprocketed roof and featuring a central red brick chimney stack. The building has two storeys, with a single-storey lean-to on the right side. The front has a three-window range of 19th-century vari-light casements. To the right, there is a gabled porch that includes a vertically boarded door. Inside, notable features include a restored back-to-back inglenook fireplace, jowled storey posts, arched braces in the chimney bay, straight braces on the walls, and a halved and bladed top plate scarf. The bridging joists are stop-chamfered, and the roof structure consists of side purlins.
