Description

Hyde Lane Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 15th century or early 16th century, with a hall bay that was floored and heated in the 17th century. The cross wing was rebuilt and cased in 1977. The building features a timber frame, red brick casing, and some weatherboarding, topped with a machine-tiled roof. The original hall bay is located on the left, while the right side has a two-bay cross wing that was rebuilt after a fire. The entrance is in the one-storey and attic hall bay, which has a two-light casement window and a steeply pitched roof. A 17th-century ridge stack with two flues and an oversailing cap is adjacent to the cross wing on the right. The left gable end is weatherboarded and includes a lean-to outshut. The cross wing has a gable front and a taller ridge, with three and four-light casements and weatherboarding on the first floor. The entrance is on the right return and features 20th-century exposed timbers on the first floor. The rear gable end has a 19th-century external stack. Inside, there are curved braces, jowled posts, a clasped purlin roof, and some framing from the 17th-century cross wing that survives near the hall bay.
