Description
Low Dryburn Farmhouse is an early 18th-century farmhouse that has been altered and is now used as a house. It is constructed of rendered rubble sandstone and rubble, with a pantiled roof on the extensions and a main roof covered in French tiles, along with brick chimneys. The building is two storeys high and features one bay, with one-storey, one-bay extensions at each end and a later one-storey front extension. There is a renewed door to the left of the central bays, and the right extension projects outward. The windows are from the late 19th century and have been renewed. The roofs are steeply pitched.
Inside, there is an enclosed dog-leg stair with a closed string, barley-sugar twist balusters, and a rounded handrail with a side groove. The central roof structure includes coupled principals and through purlins, with re-used crucks found in the left extension. The ground floor has ceiling beams, while the first floor features old planks. There are several small rear extensions that are not of particular interest.
