Description
Low House Farmhouse is a farmhouse and adjoining stables, dated 1717, though it may have an earlier origin. The building is constructed of hammer-dressed stone and features quoins. It has a stone slate roof with gable copings on cut kneelers and two ashlar stacks with cornices. The farmhouse is two storeys high with a continuous string course above the ground floor openings.
There is a near-central doorway with a chamfered surround and a deep lintel that has a sunk panel and raised letters reading "D E S 1717." On both sides of the door, there are double chamfered windows with three lights on each floor, and a single two-light window above the door. A small fire-window is located to the right, and there is a later entrance to the left. The stable range has square-headed openings.
At the rear, there is an outshut of the same construction, featuring a six-light double chamfered window with a king mullion, above which is a cross-window reset in a 19th-century gabled dormer. There is also a 19th-century doorway and window to the left, along with a small rounded lean-to addition.
Inside, a large bressumer beam supports two stop-chamfered beams in front of the fireplace against the right gable wall.
