Weylands

Weylands is a house with a complex history, dating back to the 15th century and featuring subsequent alterations in the 16th, 17th, and 20th centuries. The construction utilizes rubble with some timber framing, an ashlar frontage, and a thatched roof. The house originally comprised an open-hall structure with an early wing extending to the north, which was floored and refaced in the 17th century, resulting in a three-unit and cross-passage plan.

The south garden front presents a single-story design with an attic, encompassing four bays. It features stone-mullioned windows with iron casements and leaded lights, comprising 2, 3, and 4 lights. Above, two 3-light windows are located within gabled attic dormers, displaying copings. A smaller window is set under a thatched bonnet hood. The central door is framed by a moulded stone surround, incorporating a 4-centred arch and a label, and is fitted with a glazed door.

A right return side slopes towards the road, showcasing a recessed timber-framed gable and a projecting wooden-mullioned window on the first floor. At the rear, a two-storied timber-framed wing is set against a whitewashed background, and features a large lean-to outshut.

The interior retains evidence of the original open hall, including smoke blackening and a timber-framed fire hood. The ground floor has a panelled ceiling with moulded ribs, and an impressive fireplace with a massive wooden bressumer.
