Lane Farmhouse

Lane Farmhouse is an early 15th-century hall house, extended in the early 16th century, and altered in the late 18th and mid-19th centuries. It is partly timber frame with brick infill, partly brick, and partly painted brick, with tile gabled roofs including some old tiles. The building has an L-shaped plan, comprising a longer four-bay wing to the south, the former hall in the second bay from the west, a central section, and a three-bay north wing, which is the oldest part.

The south wing has two storeys. It features four chimneys with offset heads and clay pots. The chimneys projecting from the east gable of the south wing and the north front of the north wing are large and weathered, the north wing's showing three diamond shafts. Most windows are 18th and 19th-century sash windows with glazing bars, but some are casements, and a few have mullions and transoms.

The west front presents a symmetrical facade of four bays with tripartite sash windows with segmental heads. A gable with moulded bargeboards flanks the two-bay central section. The right-hand gable projects slightly more than the left. The entrance is a six-panel door with simple mouldings and acorn ornament on the top four panels, set within a hollow-chamfered doorcase with acorn and leaf motifs.

The east front is irregular, with four gables, the left projecting further forward. The two central gables are smaller, and the right gable displays exposed panel timbering and a 20th-century gabled porch with a plain garden door on the left. The centre gables have a sash window and a small casement window on the first floor, and a two-light casement window and a single-light casement window on the ground floor.

Inside the south wing, the ground floor reveals exposed joists with chamfers and shield stops, and a queen post roof over the former hall. There is an inglenook chimney with a bread oven in the east gable end. The north wing exposes some timber frame, including arch braces to a tie beam on the first floor, and a ground floor beam with removed braces. A redundant crown post roof features posts with large jowls.

Lane Farmhouse may have originally been two separate houses, later joined by the central section.
