East Lydeard Farmhouse

East Lydeard Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th to 17th century, with alterations and enlargement made in 1919. The building is rendered over random rubble and features slate roofs with a change in level on either side of a gabled, slightly projecting cross wing. There are rendered stacks on the right and in the right gable end, while the left side has brick stacks. The gabled wing and the left return have bargeboards.

The farmhouse has a plan consisting of three cells and a cross passage, facing west, with an early 20th-century addition on the left. It is two storeys high and has a façade of 1:1:2 bays. The windows are early 20th-century casements, with two- and three-light designs, and the original block features long, multi-paned casements in three ground floor windows. A flight of three steps leads to the casement in the gabled cross wing. There are early 20th-century plank doors to the left of the cross window and in the centre right, the latter having a slate-roofed pentice porch supported by wooden brackets, which is the original entrance to the cross passage. The left return gable end has a plaque reading "CM" (Charles Morris) dated 1919, and the right return is buttressed.

Inside, there is a plank and muntin screen to the right of the cross passage, which has a blocked four-centred arch opening that is plastered over on the cross passage side. The interior features chamfered beams with enriched stops, and a fireplace against the left cross passage wall with a four-panel hollow chamfered compartment ceiling. There is a stair turret at the rear. In the east end of the cross wing room, there is another plank and muntin screen, possibly reset, with an adapted four-panel chamfered beam ceiling, and the north wall appears to have been rebuilt. Upstairs, jointed cruck and lath and plaster screens are visible.
