Pydew Farmhouse

Pydew Farmhouse is a 2-storey, 3-window early 19th century farmhouse built from local limestone, featuring ashlar at the front and axe-dressed semi-coursed stonework on the sides and rear. It faces south away from the farmyard and has a slate roof with a tile ridge, boxed eaves at the front, and slightly projecting verges. The rear slope of the roof includes three roof-lights, and there are end chimneys topped with four octagonal terracotta stacks that have prominent cornices.

The front elevation is divided into three sections, with the central unit being gabled and slightly advanced, housing the main doorway. This central gable features decorative bargeboards and a finial. The door is a four-panel design, semi-glazed, and includes a simple overlight. The sash windows, now fitted with plate glass, are adorned with Tudor style label moulds. A large conservatory, designed as a lean-to, has been added to the left and central units, which includes a French window on the left side.

The rear elevation also consists of three windows, with two 20-pane hornless sash windows above and one below, all set in openings with chamfered reveals. The lower left window is wider, featuring three lights with mullions and a transom, which appears to be original. Each gable end has one small window.

There is a single-storey wing at the north end of the east elevation, constructed from stone with a slate roof, and a lean-to structure at the south of the east elevation. Attached to the west gable is a short garden wall with rubble coping and a boarded door.

Inside, the farmhouse retains good late Georgian style detailing, including window shutters and six-panelled doors, along with panelled architraves that are reeded upstairs.
