Description
Lower Bencock Farmhouse is an 18th-century farmhouse constructed from watershot sandstone blocks with quoins and is whitewashed. It features a tiled roof with a brick chimney at the left gable and a later chimney located in front of the ridge at the right end. The building has a double pile, two-bay plan and stands two storeys tall.
The doorway is offset to the left of centre and has plain jambs with a slightly projecting lintel. To the left of the doorway, there is one horizontal rectangular casement window with glazing bars on each floor. To the right of the doorway, there are three smaller but similar windows, which may have served as loomshop lights, along with a vertical rectangular window above, also with glazing bars. The entrance is now accessed through a single-storey porch at the left end.
On the right return wall, there is one small window, while the rear of the farmhouse has three ground floor windows. Inside, the ground floor back room extends the entire length of the house and is separated by a timber-framed partition wall.
