Description

Lower Watermeetings Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse that was extended in the 19th century. It features box framing on a stone plinth, topped with a stone slate roof and brick chimney stacks. The original section of the farmhouse is two rooms wide and has two storeys, with an outshut at the rear. The 19th-century extension is two bays by two rooms deep, also with two storeys but a higher roofline. The 17th-century part has three casement windows, while the addition includes a door, two sash windows, and one horizontally sliding sash window, all featuring segmental brick arches and stone sills. There are two ridge chimney stacks, and the stone plinth extends around the addition, indicating a rebuilding. The rear has horizontally sliding sashes.
