Waytes Court

Waytes Court is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with alterations and extensions made in the 18th century and further changes in the 20th century. It is constructed of stone rubble with brick dressings and features a thatched roof, hipped to the right and gabled at the left end, which has kneelers and an end brick chimneystack. The building is L-shaped, comprising two storeys and attics, with three windows. There is a Diocletian dormer, and the left side has a four-light stone mullioned window with a hood moulding on the ground floor. The right side features sash windows, including one tripartite window. A gabled 20th-century weather porch with lunettes leads to a round-headed entrance with a modern door. A plinth is present on the left side gable. Attached to the left is an 18th-century outbuilding built of brick in English bond, also with a thatched roof, which includes one sliding casement and a cart bay on the right side. Inside, the farmhouse contains early 19th-century wood and iron stall partitions, a chamfered beam with heart-shaped stops, another beam with lamb's tongue stops, and an ogee arched cupboard. Before the Reformation, the house known as Waytes Cart was the principal residence in the parish, and the foundations of an older manor house are believed to be located to the northwest of the current farmhouse, between it and the Parish Church.
