Pydew Farmhouse

A 2-storey, 3-window early C19 farmhouse in local limestone, ashlar at front and axe-dressed semi-coursed work at the sides and rear, facing S away from the farmyard. Slate roof with tile ridge; boxed eaves at front, slightly projecting verges; 3 roof-lights in the rear slope. End chimneys, each with four octagonal terracotta stacks with prominent cornices.

The front elevation is in 3 units; the centre unit is gabled, very slightly advanced and contains the main doorway. The central gable has decorative bargeboards and a finial. The door is of 4 panels, semi-glazed, with simple overlight. Sash windows, now with plate glass, with Tudor style label moulds. A large sheet-roofed conservatory of lean-to form has been added against the L and centre units, within which there is a French window at left.

The rear elevation is also of 3 windows, all above and 2 beneath being 20-pane hornless sash windows in openings with chamfered reveals. The bottom L window is wider, of 3 lights, with mullions and transom, the opening apparently original. One small window in each gable end.

Single-storey wing at N of E elevation, also in stone with slate roof. Lean-to at S of E elevation.

Short garden wall with rubble coping and boarded door attached to W gable.

Interior retains good late Georgian style detailing including window shutters and 6-panelled doors; panelled architraves (reeded upstairs).
