Description
Lower Gorsley Green Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse constructed of English garden wall bond brick with stone dressings and a 19th-century slate roof. The building has two storeys and an L-shaped plan. The north front features a projecting 19th-century wing on the right, which has cambered headed windows. There is a large stone chimney with two flues at the re-entrant angle, made of large coursed stones with moulding at the top and moulded stone bases for the diamond-shaped brick chimney stacks. To the left, there is a 20th-century single-storey lean-to that includes a porchway and two two-light windows, with a gable above on the left side. The left-hand side of the farmhouse has a stone chimney stack that diminishes through offsets of coursed ashlar, with the upper section rendered.
