Description
Lynton House is an early 18th-century timber-framed house that was modified in the mid-18th century with new brick additions and a facade. It features a slate roof, with plain tiles at the rear, and a facade made of gault brick accented with red brick dressings. The house stands three storeys tall and consists of five bays. The central entrance has an 8-panelled door set within a stuccoed pedimented case, flanked by two unhorned sash windows on either side, each with 8/8 glazing bars. These sash windows are adorned with aprons defined by red brick detailing and gauged skewback arches beneath moulded stucco hoods. There are five similar sash windows on the first and second floors, which do not have hoods. A heavy moulded cornice runs between the first and second floors, and there is a dentilled parapet below the hipped roof. The house has internal gable-end stacks on both the east and west sides, while the rear is rendered and partly timber-framed. There is a cross wing with an internal gable-end stack to the west. Attached to the east end of the house is a late 19th-century two-storey hipped brick extension that features a central door facing east and 8/8 sash windows.
Inside, the two main ground-floor rooms have been opened into one space for use as offices. The rear rooms contain chamfered bridging beams. An open-string staircase features three fluted balusters per tread and a ramped moulded handrail, along with a moulded dado rail. The first-floor front rooms are decorated with large-framed 18th-century panelling and several 18th-century two-panel doors.
