Description
Lower Moss Farmhouse is a farmhouse, likely built in the mid-17th century and later cased in brick around 1840. It features brown brickwork in English garden wall bond and has a graded grey slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has three windows in the main wing. There is a projecting wing on the right side, which contains windows on each storey facing the inner side. The windows are small-pane cast iron casements set under camber heads, and there are no cills. A 19th-century gabled porch supported by stop-chamfered posts leads to a replaced boarded door. Inside, the main wing has a lobby-entrance plan, an inglenook with an oak bressumer, stop-chamfered oak main beams, and a staircase with winders situated between the front and the inglenook.
