Rye Court Farm

Rye Court Farm is a detached farmhouse marked as Chaceley Court Farm on the 6-inch Ordnance Survey map. It dates from the 16th to 18th centuries and was restored in 1984 and 1985. The building features square-panelled timber-framing with rendered brick infill, set on a brick and blue lias plinth, and has a red tile roof with a brick stack. There is an 18th-century brick extension. The main body is a four-bay rectangular structure with two storeys and an attic, which is lit by two 20th-century roof dormers.

The north-west front has irregular fenestration with all 20th-century two-light wood casements and a 20th-century four-panelled door located at the lower left. There is a projecting lean-to porch with a plank door leading to the basement of the 18th-century extension on the right. On the south-east front of the main body, there is one 4-light and one 2-light 20th-century casement with glazing bars, along with three slightly canted 19th-century three-light windows. The 18th-century extension has one storey with a basement store.

On the garden front, there are two 4-pane sashes with horns set within flattened segmental-headed surrounds, and a part-glazed, four-panel door located up steps to the right of the sash windows. The projecting, formerly gable-end stack features twin star-shaped flues, decorative zig-zag tiling between the flues, and small pointed brick finials around the base.

Inside the main body, there is a beaded tie beam, likely from the 18th century, an open fire with a wood bressumer, and two brick-lined niches above, with a bread oven to the right of the fireplace. The wall opposite the fireplace has 18th-century fielded panelling, and the single-roomed 18th-century extension features similar panelling with some fluted decoration on the uprights. The extension has a hipped roof.
