Description
Low Burnfoot and the adjoining barn are a house and barn complex. The house features a re-set dated 1694 lintel on the outshut and was largely rebuilt in the mid 18th century, with alterations around 1830. The 18th-century barn was embellished around the same time. The buildings are constructed from squared stone with dressings. The house has a concrete-tiled roof and stone chimneys, while the barn roof is covered with stone flags at the front and Welsh slates at the rear.
The house is two stories high and has three bays, with alternating quoins. It has a central replaced door with an overlight set in a raised surround. The windows are replaced casements in raised surrounds, with wide openings flanking the door and three narrower openings above. The roof is steeply pitched with coped gables, featuring shaped kneelers with worn carved heads on the soffits. The end stacks have top ledges and water tables.
The lower two-story, four-bay barn on the left has several blind openings, including a doorway and a two-light window. A two-story gabled porch on the left bay, with a round archway and a square opening above, was added as a decorative feature. At the rear of the house, there is a single-story outshut that includes a two-light chamfered-mullioned window with a re-set upside-down lintel inscribed: I.S. 1694, and a similar window under a dripmould on the right return of the outshut.
