Farmhouse. Early C17 with C19 alterations. (1)

Number 3 Ley Lane is an early C17 farmhouse with adjoining barn with C19 alterations constructed of coursed squared limestone rubble and C20 pantiled roof. At its front the garden is enclosed by a high stonewall which bounds Ley Lane. (2)

The farmhouse and adjoining barn are part of the built-up frontage to the settlement, located on one of the crofts. The relationship between these buildings (a former farm) and Ley Lane is typical of 17th century village farmsteads, with the agricultural holding located detached in field parcels (strips) within the former open field and a small croft behind the farm within the village. The open space opposite the building, on the south side of Ley Lane, makes no specific contribution to its significance. (2)
