Description
Lanwades House is a house dating from the early 16th century, with significant alterations made in the mid 19th century. It has a three-cell plan and is two storeys high. The front wall is encased and partly rebuilt in rough-cast rendered masonry during the 19th century, while the rear wall is rendered. The roof is covered with plain tiles and features pierced ridge tiles and a rendered axial chimney. The 19th-century windows are set in painted chamfered stone frames and include mullioned and transomed casements. The entrance door has six panels, with the upper panels being glazed, and is framed by a broad stone architrave and cornice supported by console brackets.
The house displays high-quality 16th-century timber framing, which is mostly hidden by plaster, but there is close-studding visible at the left gable end and a complete coupled-rafter roof that was originally hipped at the right end. There is a large mid-19th-century extension at the rear made of gault brick and slate, featuring details in the Gothick style. Lanwades House is included in the heritage register despite its 19th and 20th-century alterations due to its early and high-quality timber-framed core.
