Description
Low Shipley Farmhouse is a mid-18th century farmhouse situated off the south side of Marwood. The farmhouse is constructed of coursed sandstone rubble with quoins and ashlar dressings, and has a stone-flagged roof with stone gable copings. It is two storeys high and originally three bays wide. The central entrance features a boarded door with a four-pane overlight, set within a tooled plain stone surround. Late 19th century four-pane sashes are found in the outer bays, with similar surrounds and a flat stone lintel and projecting stone sill to the sash window above the door. The roof has moulded kneelers, and there are banded end chimneys. A two-bay, two-storey outshut is located at the rear.
