Blyford Hall

Blyford Hall is a manor farmhouse dating from the 16th century, with various later additions, including two 19th-century gabled wings to the north. The building is timber framed, partly plastered, and partly likely rebuilt in colourwashed brick, topped with a plaintiled roof. It has two storeys and an attic, arranged in a three-cell form. On the south side, there are two 19th-century casement windows. To the left, there is a late 19th-century ground floor canted bay and a 17th-century gabled addition that is set forward. An internal stack is present, and there is a doorway facing north in the 19th-century addition, featuring a six-panel door with a fluted architrave, corner roundels, and a plain semi-circular fanlight. At the east end, there are two smaller additions and the lower portion of a large external stack. Inside, some studwork is exposed, showing evidence of original windows. On the first floor, the open trusses have heavy arched braces, with each joint secured by as many as eight or nine pegs. The roof features clasped purlins with cranked wind-bracing.
