Description

Lower Top o'th' Bank Farmhouse is a farmhouse built mainly in the late 18th century, but it incorporates datestones from 1681 and 1682 in its rear wall. The building now serves as a house and has an attached barn on the right side. The house is composed of three bays and two storeys, while the barn, which continues to the right, also has three bays. The front wall of the house is made of watershot coursed sandstone, while the rear wall is constructed of random rubble. The barn features coursed sandstone with quoins. The house has a slate roof, and the barn has a stone slate roof.

The house features three stepped triple-light windows on each floor and a plain doorway located between the second and third bays. The barn has large round-headed wagon entrances in the middle bay, an inserted window to the left, and a doorway that has been altered to serve as a window at the right end. The rear wall of the house appears to have been raised, with the upper level made of watershot coursed blocks. The doorway has a humped lintel with crudely incised lettering that reads "1681 HM RH," and at the junction with the barn, which steps out, there is another datestone, partly obscured by the barn wall, that has raised lettering "1682."

Inside, the layout has been altered, but a through-passage indicates the original plan. The third bay contains a vaulted cellar with a well and a keeping stone.
