Lower Purprice

Lower Purprice is a house from the second half of the 17th century, constructed from large dressed stone with a stone slate roof. It features copings with kneelers and diamond-shaped finials on the gables and porch. The building is two storeys high and consists of two cells. The windows are all double chamfered mullioned with hoodmoulds; the ground floor windows have straight returns, while the first floor windows are chamfered. The fine porch includes a basket-arched doorway with a chamfered surround and a two-light window at the apex of the gable. The inner door has a straight lintel and chamfered surround. There is a six-light window and a four-light window above it, along with a five-light window. The left return wall has a five-light window (missing a mullion) and a two-light chamfered mullioned window. A rainwater spout is located in the former valley of a now-demolished rear wing. The right return wall has a blocked four-light window and a three-light window with arched lights, sunken spandrels, and cavetto moulded mullions. Inside, there is a segmental arched fireplace with a cyma moulded surround and shelf, as well as stop-chamfered spine beams. A doorway in the south wall leads to the demolished wing and has a straight lintel and chamfered surround.
