Hyde Incorporating The Old Barn

Hyde, incorporating the old barn, is a former farmhouse now used as a house. It dates from the 17th century to early 18th century, with extensions added in the late 18th to early 19th century, and a restoration and conversion of the barn around 1930. The building is constructed of coursed squared and dressed limestone, topped with an artificial limestone slate roof and features ashlar stacks.

The structure has a basically rectangular plan, with a late 18th to early 19th-century extension at the rear right that projects slightly from the facade. The converted barn projects forward from the far left. The garden front has two storeys, a cellar, and an attic that is lit by four 20th-century two-light dormers. The facade features a 1:4:1 arrangement of windows, including 20th-century double-chamfered stone mullioned casements, some with transoms and stopped hoods, all fitted with leaded panes. A string course runs above the windows of the late 18th to early 19th-century extension. There is a plank door off centre left in a plain surround with a flat hood, and a former doorway to the main body has been blocked with a window inserted to the right. The gable end and axial stack are visible from the left-hand eaves of the converted barn.

Inside, there is a niche lined with blocks of finely carved stone, which may have originally come from an altar. The converted barn features a three-bay roof with three original trusses that include a collar and tie beam, with struts extending from the tie to the collar and from the collar to the principal rafter.
