The Bay Tree

The Bay Tree is a house, now serving as a home for the elderly, built in 1764 for Isaac Storm. It is constructed from tooled, squared stone of near-ashlar quality and features a renewed pantiled roof with a stone ridge, gabled copings, and stacks. The building has two storeys and a basement, with a symmetrical five-bay façade that includes a wider central bay. There are three steps leading up to a five-panel door set in an architrave, which has a narrow frieze and cornice above it, along with a three-pane overlight. The basement windows are low and consist of three panes. The ground floor has plain sash windows, while the upper floor features six-pane sash windows with cill bands on both levels. The eaves are adorned with a modillion cornice, and there is a coped parapet with irregular skylights behind it. The end chimneys are cornice-banded and have three road gable copings. To the left, there is a one-bay extension that is set back and has a modern door and windows.
