Lydstep House

Lydstep House is a two-storey residence facing east, featuring a long, low block with gabled cross wings. The exterior is pebble-dashed with a slate roof and red brick chimneys. The central block has five windows: the first bay includes a gablet over a sash window on the upper floor and a casement window on the ground floor. The second bay features a two-storey splayed bay window with sash glazing. The third bay has a gablet over a casement window above a central stone gabled porch. The fourth bay includes a gablet over a casement window above a splayed bay window with sash glazing, while the fifth bay is similar, but the bay window has casement glazing. At each end of the house, there are gabled cross wings with broad five-light windows on each floor, and there is a recent block under a catslide roof in the southern inner angle. An attached one-and-a-half storey cottage is located at the southern end, and there is a large modern extension to the north.

The house retains a significant amount of its late 19th-century interiors. The entrance hall is panelled, leading to the right into a billiard room that features an inglenook fireplace. The stair hall includes a Jacobethan fireplace and an elaborate staircase leading to a landing with a ribbed and panelled ceiling. A long upper corridor is lined with panelling and original doors, and there are fitted panelled cupboards with illustrations in the upper doors, along with some original light fittings. On the ground floor, a panelled corridor leads to a rear hall, which has been somewhat modernised but still features a large hooded fireplace with turned balusters, a cupboard with copper strap hinges and ceramic inlay, and ceramic tiles in a Jacobethan style. There is a large window at the rear of the house, and to the east, a wooden stair leads to a gallery with simple wooden railings and fitted cupboards. Much of the rest of the interior has been modernised, although some original doors and cupboards remain.
