Low Burnlea

Low Burnlea is a house and barn, likely dating from the early 17th century, possibly incorporating earlier cruck timbers. It has been altered in the 20th century. The building is constructed of sandstone rubble with a boulder plinth, and has a roof of 20th-century pantiles. The original design was a gable-entry plan. The house portion is two storeys high and three bays wide, with a barn of one high storey attached to the right, and a lower one-storey, one-bay extension to the right of the barn.

The house has three 3-light windows with glazing bars, concrete sills and lintels, in the outer bays; the central bay is blank. A similar 2-light window is situated in the centre of the barn. The steeply pitched roof has two renewed end chimneys.

Inside the house, the left half of the single ground-floor room reveals beams with ogee-stopped chamfers to the floor joists. The right half has no visible joists. Two pairs of large crucks are present, those on the rear wall rising from approximately 1.5 metres above ground level. The roof structure includes large pegged extended collars, through purlins resting on the ends, and a small collar at the apex, located beneath a renewed ridge piece between the tops of the blades.

A rebuilt one-storey left extension and a 20th-century front porch are not considered to be of particular interest.
