Description
Low Barmston Farmhouse is a large farmhouse built around 1840. It is constructed from snecked rubble sandstone and features a plinth, large quoins, and crow-stepped gable ends, with some ashlar dressings. The roof is made of Welsh slate and includes corniced ashlar stacks. The building has an irregular plan and is designed in a baronial style, standing two storeys high with three bays, where the left bay is set back. The two gabled right bays project, with the central bay being half-octagonal on the first floor, corbelled out above and sloped out below. The farmhouse has sash windows with glazing bars set in tooled stone surrounds. The entrance features a four-panelled door within a corniced surround, which is raised in the centre to accommodate blank shields. An L-shaped wing extends forward from the left bay and is connected by a yard wall to a lean-to in the inner return angle. There are small round-headed windows in the one-storey part and in the central gable end. The garden front has three bays, with a blank centre on the first floor.
