Description
The Lynch is a detached house, likely built between 1800 and 1830, with a roof modified in the late 19th century. It is constructed from local lias stone cut to resemble ashlar, featuring Ham stone dressings. The roof is hipped and covered with Welsh slate, topped with a central belvedere and bracketed eaves, along with stone chimney stacks.
The house has two storeys with an attic. The east elevation consists of three bays, with the center bay projecting slightly and topped with a shallow parapet. The upper section features 9-pane sash windows in plain openings, while the lower section has Venetian windows set in semi-circular arches, adorned with radial fluted panels in the Adam style and under gauged stonework. The center of the lower section has a pair of part-glazed doors accessed by two steps, framed by an open porch supported by Tuscan columns and pilasters, complete with a full entablature.
The north elevation has four bays and the west elevation has three bays, both of which include some blind windows and plain sash windows below. There are also some later 19th-century lean-to extensions on the south side. The interior appears to have been little altered, retaining much of its Regency detailing.
