Description
Lower Shore Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the mid-18th century with later additions. It is constructed of hammer-dressed watershot stone and features graduated stone slate and slate roofs. The building has a three-bay, two-storey central-entrance plan, with subsequent additions to the rear and right. It has a projecting plinth and a door with an architrave surround and hood. The windows are symmetrically arranged, featuring four-light chamfered mullions, although two mullions have been removed from each of the windows in bays one and three. There is also a blind light above the door, which has one mullion removed. The farmhouse has gable chimney stacks with moulded oversailing courses. At the rear, there are two late 18th-century additions that include flat-faced mullion windows, and a 19th-century addition to the right, which has raised quoins and 20th-century casement window replacements for the original sashes. A datestone built into an adjoining wall reads "RD 1622 ID".
