Bay Tree Farmhouse And House To Left Now Part Of The Farmhouse

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.
