Description
Lower Wormald is a house dating from the mid-17th century, constructed from large dressed stone with a stone slate roof. The building features quoins and is two storeys high, designed in a two-cell layout with a cross-wing. The wing includes altered 19th-century flat-faced mullioned windows with three lights on each floor. The right-hand return wall has an inserted doorway with monolithic jambs to the left of a lateral stack that has offsets. The hall, positioned at right angles, showcases double chamfered mullioned windows with five lights and two lights (the latter being a fire-window), along with a four-light flat-faced mullioned window on the first floor. The right-hand return wall also features a two-light window and a doorway with monolithic jambs, accompanied by a two-light window above on the first floor. A gable stack is present as well. Inside the cross-wing, there is a square-headed fireplace with a moulded surround.
