Description
Baynham Farmhouse is a sub-medieval farmhouse that features a 19th-century, two-storey front with two windows made of rubble, along with a two-storey, one-window gable-ended cross range to the left. The presence of a lateral chimney stack suggests that this cross range was enlarged from an earlier structure. This farmhouse is part of a group of cruck buildings in the area, which includes Llanshay Farmhouse and the Hendre at Stanage. The building has a slate roof, a brick stack on the right gable end, and a projecting, stepped rubble stack that has been heightened with brick on the left side, along with a smaller brick chimney beyond. The front features casement windows, some of which are under cambered heads. There is a modern projecting porch with a pitched roof, while the rear elevations are plain.
Inside, the farmhouse has a three-bay layout that was once an open hall at the centre. It retains cruck construction, with one couple visible at the centre, and the blades are slightly thinned above a canted tie-beam supported by arch braces. The truss was likely closed off in the 17th century, dividing the space into two storeys. There is a square framed timber partition wall, vertically boarded doors, and chamfered beams with partly counterchanging joists on the ground floor. The rooms in the cross range have higher ceilings.
