Description
Bay Tree Farmhouse, originally two houses now combined into one dwelling, dates back to the 16th century with later alterations and a 19th-century house attached to the left. The building features an exposed timber frame and a red plain tiled roof, along with a red brick chimneystack that has attached diagonal shafts. It is two storeys high with attics and has a three-window range of vari-light casements that include centre transoms. There is an off-centre right board door with a simple surround and a flat canopy.
The 19th-century section to the left is made of red brick and has a red pantile roof, with a central red brick chimneystack. This part is also two storeys tall and has a two-window range of small paned vertically sliding sashes with segmental heads. The central door here features two top lights, a simple surround, and a flat canopy supported by brackets.
Inside, the original range has a herringbone brick floor and an inglenook fireplace, along with an inserted ceiling and jowled storey posts. Some first-floor areas retain original floorboards, and there are vertically boarded doors with strap hinges. The building also has a short halved and bridled top plate scarf.
