Description
Pye Corner Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed from roughly cut and squared ham stone with ashlar dressings, and features a plain clay tiled roof over stone slate base courses, topped with stepped coped gables. The building has brick end and intermediate chimney stacks.
The farmhouse has two storeys and consists of five bays, with the first two bays likely being a 19th-century extension. The windows in these bays are plain mullioned with slight chamfers, featuring 2-light horizontal bar casements. There is a blocked doorway between the lower windows and a straight joint to the right of bay 2. Bays 3 and 5 have 2-storey right-angled bay windows with 1+3+1 lights, plain slightly chamfered mullions, simple architraves, and shallow pitched slate roofs. The upper bay 4 has a 3-light hollow chamfered mullioned window set in a chamfered recess, while the lower bay 4 features a plain boarded door in a slightly chamfered ashlar surround with a label above.
Attached to the north-west gable is an 18th-century extension, which has a straight joint and includes an upper ground floor and semi-basement, possibly used as a cider room, with a roof set lower than the main building. This extension has a 2-light hollow chamfered mullioned window above, a doorway with a flight of stone steps to the left, and a 3-light mullioned window below, along with a 2-light window and door to the lower level in the gable. There are further 19th-century extensions at the rear.
Historically, until 1800, the farmhouse served as the London Inn before the London-Exeter road was re-routed and was previously used for court hearings.
