Dry Leys Farmhouse

Dry Leys Farmhouse is a house dating from the early 18th century. It is constructed of red and vitreous brick, featuring red brick quoins and window surrounds, a moulded brick plinth and eaves, and a first-floor band course. The roof is made of old tiles and has flanking brick chimneys, with the left chimney partly rebuilt. The building has a two-span roof with a narrow valley between. It stands two storeys high, with a cellar and attic, and consists of five bays. The ground floor has three-pane sash windows, which have segmental heads, and there is a cellar window on the right. The central entrance features a four-panelled door with a rectangular fanlight above and a lean-to hood that obscures a carved stone armorial panel. Attic casements are present in the gables. The rear of the house is more irregular, with casements and sashes, a central staircase window, and one hipped dormer. It is said to have been built by Robert Dormer for one of his daughters.
