SK5722 : Building group on Wymeswold Road

near to Hoton, Leicestershire, Great Britain

Building group on Wymeswold Road

This comprises 23 Wymeswold Road and the timber framed barn beyond.
No.23 is a combination of a 17th century timber framed bay at the far end and a later 18th century brick-built extension; the nearest bay may be later still. A detailed view of the timber framed section can be seen here Link

.
Beyond is the timber framed barn (now converted to a dwelling), seen to better advantage here Link

Note the lack of windows to prevent disturbance to the fine herringbone brickwork. House and barn are Listed Grade II.

Listed Buildings and Structures

Listed buildings and structures are officially designated as being of special architectural, historical or cultural significance. There are over half a million listed structures in the United Kingdom.
Listed status is more commonly associated with buildings or groups of buildings, however it can cover many other structures, including bridges, headstones, steps, ponds, monuments, walls, phone boxes, wrecks, parks, and heritage sites.

There are three main listing designations;
Grade I (2.5%) - exceptional interest, sometimes considered to be internationally important.
Grade II* (5.5%) - particularly important buildings of more than special interest.
Grade II (92%) - nationally important and of special interest.

There are also locally listed structures using A, B and C designations.
