Description
Lower Town Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 19th century, with a 17th-century rear wing. It is constructed of red brick with a sandstone plinth and features a hipped concrete tiled roof. The timber-framed rear wing has brick infill. The building has a single depth plan with a central entrance and end stacks, oriented east to west and facing south. The 17th-century wing extends to the north (rear), with additional later lean-to additions to the east and west.
The farmhouse is two storeys high, with an attic and cellar. It has a string course and a dentilled eaves cornice, along with a central slightly forward break topped with a pediment. The windows are arranged in a 1:1:1 pattern, with 20th-century aluminium sash windows on the first floor featuring cambered brick heads and pronounced scrolled keystones. There is a circular window with radiating glazing bars in the tympanum of the pediment. On the ground floor, 2-light casement windows in enlarged openings flank a later gabled porch, which has a half-glazed door. The upper part of the walls and rear gable of the rear wing reveals fragmentary framing, which has largely been refaced with brick. Originally, it featured three panels from the sill to the wall-plate, with three struts to the collar and V-struts in the gable.
