Description
Lower Farmhouse is a late 18th-century house, originally a farmhouse. It is constructed of painted brick and has a Welsh slate roof. The house is two-and-a-half storeys high and follows a double-depth plan with a central entrance. The front features a doorway with a plain entablature supported by brackets, and is flanked by a tripartite sash window to the left and a 12-pane sash window to the right. Above, there is a three-window range, all 12-pane sashes, with 6-pane sashes in the attic storey. A moulded eaves cornice runs along the top of the house, and there are gable end stacks.
