Description

Low House is a house that was initially built in 1675 and later altered in the late 18th century. The building features a symmetrical facade made of hammer-dressed stone with dressed quoins and a stone slate roof. It stands two storeys tall and has three bays. The doorway, which has monolithic jambs, is topped with a semicircular arch that includes an impost block, keystone, and a Gothick glazed fanlight. Above the door, there is an original window with raised plain stone surrounds, and on either side, there are three-light flat-faced mullioned windows. The gables are coped with kneelers and stacks.

The rear of the house is L-shaped, with a doorway that also features monolithic jambs and a date stone above it. To the left, there is a stair window with a semicircular arch, an impost block, and a keystone, retaining small-pane glazing and a Gothick glazed fanlight. To the right of the door, an outshut breaks forward under a cat-slide roof, connecting to the main range. One corner of this section is quoined, while the other is buttressed with offsets. The left-hand return wall has a blocked two-light chamfered mullioned window on the first floor. Attached at right angles is a two-storey bay with a mono-pitch roof and a three-light double-chamfered mullioned window.

Inside, the upper room features a plaster overmantel that is initialled and dated "IGG" 1663, set in the center of three panels, with the outer panels decorated with foliage and simple pilasters between them. The stone staircase has risers treated as imposts and slender turned balusters.
