Lower Baynton Farmhouse

Lower Baynton Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, which was rebuilt in the mid-19th century. The building retains some timber-framing at the rear, while the rest is constructed in Flemish bond brick. It has a hipped Welsh slate roof with gable end brick stacks. The south front is two-storey with three windows. The central entrance features a six-panelled door set within an early 20th-century gabled glazed porch, flanked by 16-pane sash windows with wedge lintels. On the first floor, there are three additional 16-pane sashes, also with wedge lintels. The left side of the building displays some earlier English bond brickwork, a four-panelled door, and a two-light casement window. The right side has a single-storey lean-to extension. At the rear, facing the farmyard, there is a one-bay section of square-panelled timber-frame with brick nogging, possibly reset, along with two-light and three-light casements and a planked door. Inside, the farmhouse retains chamfered beams with run-outs in the rear 17th-century section, along with 19th-century fittings. This farmhouse is one of several cheese-making farms in the Avon valley and was rebuilt by the Erlestoke Estate in the mid-19th century.
