Lower Micklehurst Farmhouse

Lower Micklehurst Farmhouse is a farmhouse, or possibly a surviving wing of a larger original house, likely dating from the late 16th century. It features whitewashed render on sandstone with quoins and a stone slate roof, which has one ridge chimney stack and a later chimney on the east side wall. The building consists of two unequal units aligned on a north-south axis, with the shorter north unit possibly being an early addition that has a short projection on the east side.

The farmhouse is two storeys high, with a large single-storey kitchen wing added to the south end of the west side wall. There are two entrances: one through a flat-roofed porch attached to the kitchen wing and another via a door in the north gable wall. Notable external features include recessed cavetto-mullioned windows in both gables and the west side wall. In the south gable, the ground floor has six round-headed lights with hollow spandrels, while the first floor has five square-headed lights, both with hoodmoulds. The west side has a three-light window on each floor of the middle bay, which lacks hoodmoulds. The north gable features a five square-headed light window at ground floor, another at the first floor offset to the right, and a three-light window on a lower level to the left, which likely serves as a stairlight. To the right of the ground floor window is a heightened doorway with a chamfered surround. On the east side, all openings are modern insertions except for a small splayed light at the south end of the first floor.

Inside, the south bay contains two large stop-chamfered lateral beams supported by moulded stone corbels, while the north bay has one chamfered beam on the axis. At the first floor, there is a doorway through a thick stone internal partition wall from the east projection of the north bay. The roof structure includes two kingpost trusses with raked struts and two pairs of trenched purlins with stopped chamfer.
