Pye House

Pye House is a house dating from the 18th century, with a core that likely dates back to the late 15th or early 16th century. Originally a three-cell open hall house, it was extended and converted into a row of cottages in the 18th century. The building has one and a half storeys and attics, featuring a timber frame that is rendered. It has a thatched roof with eyebrow dormers and axial chimneys made of red brick. The windows are 20th-century casements, and there is a boarded entrance door with an open thatched porch. Inside, the two-bay soot-blackened crown-post roof over the open hall remains, although the central open truss is now missing. The left-hand service cell, which was originally hipped, has undergone significant alterations, while the right-hand parlour cell was demolished and rebuilt in the 18th century. A chimney stack was inserted into the hall, backing onto the cross-passage, likely in the 17th century. The house was converted and extended around 1970.
