Description
Laylocks is a detached house dated 1746, constructed from Cary stone rubble that is roughly coursed, with Doulting stone dressings. The roof is made of double Roman clay tiles and features coped gables, along with brick end chimney stacks. The building has an 'L' plan layout, is two storeys high, and consists of three bays. The windows are small pane casements with three lights, likely from the 19th century, and are set beneath chamfered timber lintels. The central entrance features a boarded door in a heavy frame, topped by an open segmental pediment, above which is a plain plaque inscribed with W/SI/1746. The entire facade is largely obscured by box plants trained up the wall. The interior has not been seen. On the south side, there is a 20th-century flat-roofed extension.
