Lyndale

Lyndale is a small house dating from the early 19th century. It features slatestone rubble walls, oak lintels, and slate sills. The roof is hipped and covered with grouted scantle slate, with brick chimneys located over the side walls. At the rear, there is a scantle roofed outshut, and to the left (west), a scantle roofed lean-to.

The house has a two-room central stair plan, along with two narrow service rooms located under the outshut at the rear, and a later one-room apple store within the lean-to on the left. It stands two storeys tall and has an overall four-window front, with a symmetrical three-window original part and a one-window lean-to on the left. The original front features a central doorway with a 20th-century door and original 16-pane hornless sash windows made with crown glass. The oak lintels have randomly spaced treenails and are likely made from wreck timber. The apple store has a wide doorway on the right, which contains an original ledged door, and a small wide window on the first floor that rises into the roof space.

The interior of the house is largely unaltered, showcasing original simple carpentry and joinery, including slender ceiling beams with bowtell mouldings and wide floorboards. Lyndale is situated in a village that retains a high proportion of fairly intact late 18th and early 19th-century houses, and it enjoys an unspoilt riverside location.
