Haydown Farmhouse

Haydown Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 16th century, with a floor inserted in the 17th century, encased in brick in the 18th century, and altered in the 20th century. It features a timber frame with colourwashed brick infill and encasing, topped with an old plain tile roof. The building is two storeys high and consists of four bays from the 16th century, with an 18th-century wing at the rear of the left bay and a 20th-century bay to its left. The roadside elevation is brick, featuring an 18th-century three-light segmental-headed leafed casement window in the right bay and another three-light casement window in an eyebrow dormer above the third bay from the right. In the bay between, where a door would typically be, there is a two-light segmental-headed casement. The roof is hipped steeply to the right, with a large ridge stack positioned over where the door would have been. The timber frame is exposed on the first floor at the ends and on the far side, and internally, there is an exposed beam end of the inserted floor above the tie. The farmhouse also contains 17th-century fireplaces made of reused dressed stone.
