Description
Bay House is a small house, probably built in the mid-19th century. It is constructed from plastered cob and rubble, with an exposed rubble stack and a plastered brick chimney shaft. The house has a thatched roof and features a two-room plan, facing south, with an end stack that projects to the right (east) and a service block at right angles behind the right room.
The building is two storeys high and has a nearly symmetrical front with two windows, which are late 19th-century casements with glazing bars. There is a central doorway, currently fitted with a 20th-century door, and a late 19th-century porch made of red tiles and featuring a gabled roof. The porch has shaped bargeboards with a finial and pendant at the apex, and its sides are part glazed with glazing bars. The roof is half-hipped to the left and hipped to the right. Inside, the fireplace is blocked, and there are no exposed beams. The roof has not been inspected.
