Low House And Attached Barn

Low House and the attached barn and cottage are located on Otley Road in Eldwick. The house dates from 1731, with the barn added shortly after and the cottage added in the 19th century. There were mid-20th century alterations, including the addition of a rear outshut. The buildings are constructed of banner-dressed stone with dressed quoins, and they have a stone slate roof.

The house is two storeys tall and features a two-cell, central lobby-entry plan. The doorway has tie-stone jambs with a chamfer that rises to form a false ogee lintel, above which is a small date plaque. On either side of the doorway are former 4-light double-chamfered mullioned windows, which have been altered to 2 lights. The first floor originally had 3-light windows, now reduced to a single light window with a plain-stone surround. A central stack rises from the ridge.

Inside the house, there is a segmental-arched fireplace with voussoirs and skewbacks, as well as a segmental-arched recess with monolithic jambs and an impost.

The cottage to the right has two cells, each with a doorway and window on each floor, featuring plain-stone surrounds (with modern glazing). There is a single stack on the ridge. The right-hand return has an outside stone stair leading to a first-floor doorway with monolithic jambs, which may have been a taking-in-door related to textile manufacture.

To the left of the house is a four-bay barn, one bay of which extends the house. This barn has a large window with plain-stone surrounds and a full-height cart-entry with composite jambs. The gable to the left is coped and has kneelers. Inside the barn, there is an oak king-post roof with single angle struts.
