Lyncombe Court

Lyncombe Court is a detached house built in the early 19th century, with later extensions dating to the late 19th century. The construction utilises limestone ashlar with a slate roof. The original house was a compact range with a deep-gabled roof and a central staircase. It was subsequently extended by one bay to the right. The building features a narrow external rear passageway and a high retaining wall to a terrace, with a bridge providing rear access at a raised level.

The three-storey facade originally had four windows, with a further window added later, all within raised flat surrounds. The left-hand end features a two-storey bow embracing two bays. The right-hand end has a full-height canted bay. The top floor has four twelve-pane sash windows, with an eight:sixteen:eight-pane window in the bay, over three tall narrow French casements in the bow. Two similar French casements are on the right, with balustraded wooden guard rails and eight-pane windows on either side of another French casement with a rail. The ground floor features three deep narrow casements with transom lights in the bow, a pair of part-glazed doors with a radial fanlight and sidelights, a large twelve-pane window, and a large eight:sixteen:eight-pane window in the bay. The bow has painted walls and a two-stage curved veranda with a low-pitched lead roof, a net balustrade, and trellis standards. The remainder of the ground floor has a shallow lean-to roof on lattice beam and standards, extending to the far-left bay. The bow is likely a modification to the original flat frontage.

Two string courses run along the facade, leading to a cornice with a blocking course and a parapet. The coped gables have small stacks and a further ridge stack at the original outer gable position. There is also a small central dormer or access hatch to the roof. The left return gable continues to a swept-down section, with sash windows towards the rear, alongside a 20th-century door, and a lean-to conservatory covering part. The right return includes a four-pane and a sixteen-pane sash window. It also has a central tribunal with a square panel within an arched panel, bordered by archivolt within pilasters carrying an entablature and a pediment, set on deep moulded sills to brackets. A small central stack rises from the crown of the pediment, and the main gable is swept down at a lower pitch than the front.

The rear elevation includes a bridge to a glazed door on the top floor, a large twelve-pane stair sash, and various other windows. A narrow extension is present at the gable end. The entrance end has a large area covered with a lean-to corrugated plastic roof, contained within an ashlar wall. The interior of the house has not been inspected.
