Description
Lyford House is a house, dated 1717 as indicated by a stone in the right gable wall. It is constructed of Flemish bond brick with flared headers, and has a gabled stone slate roof with symmetrical brick stacks. The house follows a two-unit plan and has two storeys, with a symmetrical five-window arrangement. The central entrance is topped with a gauged brick flat arch and a 20th-century flat hood. Similar arches feature over the 20th-century two-light casement windows. A cyma-moulded string course runs along the front, topped by a moulded wooden cornice. Later 20th-century extensions have been added to the rear. The interior has been remodelled in the 20th century, and includes chamfered beams and a timber-framed partition to the right of the entrance. The house was built for the Ashcombe family, who also constructed The Alms Court.
