Great Lypiatt Farmhouse

Great Lypiatt Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, with a date of 1627 marked on the porch. It is constructed of rubble stone and features stone-tiled roofs. The main range of the building has two and a half storeys, while there are one and a half storey cross-wings on each side. The main range has coped gables, end stacks, and a front coped gable set to the right.

The windows are recessed chamfered mullions, with a three-light window in the gable, two three-light windows on the first floor, and a four-light window with a king-mullion on the ground floor to the left, all featuring hoodmoulds. The porch, located on the ground floor to the right, has a coped gable and includes a sundial and ball finials. It features a round arched doorway with fluted imposts, a keystone, carved spandrels, and a hoodmould, along with a Tudor-arched doorway and a plank door.

At the rear of the main range, there are two-light windows on the first floor and three-light recessed chamfered mullion windows on the ground floor, both with hoodmoulds, as well as a door leading to a through passage. To the right, there is a rear wing with similar windows on the east side and north end, both being two-light. The west cross-wing has a ridge stack and three-light windows with hoodmoulds on both floors, featuring ovolo-moulded details above and recessed chamfered details below.

An east addition has a coped east gable and stack, with a broad south gable that includes an upper three-light window and a blocked window under a single hoodmould, as well as a lower four-light window with a hoodmould. There is also a two-light window with a hoodmould in the end wall of the east and northeast rear wing, which has an east coped gable, stack, and a ground floor three-light window with a hoodmould.

The west side, facing the rear court, features a dormer gable and a two-light window above another two-light window, both with hoodmoulds, along with a door to the right. All windows in the east wing are ovolo-moulded. The west cross-wing is thought to possibly date from the early 16th century, while the main range is from the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Inside, there is said to be a fine stone fireplace in the hall and an early 18th-century staircase with turned balusters and a moulded rail. The house was owned by the Hancock family from the 15th century until 1764, when it was sold to P. Methuen.
