Description
Lane Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid-16th century, with alterations made around 1600 and in the 19th century. It has two storeys and a two-cell plan. The building is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a double Roman pantiled roof that features an internal chimney made of red brick. The windows are mainly 19th-century casements, some of which have small panes, and there is a 20th-century rear entrance door. Inside, substantial 16th-century timber-framing is exposed. The two-bay hall includes heavy first-floor joists and an open truss with a very steeply cambered tie-beam that has arch-bracing. The roof is supported by coupled rafters, and there is a large open fireplace in the hall with a cambered lintel. The service cell on the left was extended by one bay around 1600, featuring a clasped purlin roof, and the formerly hipped end has been converted to a gable.
