Description
Lower House is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, which was refaced in the mid-19th century and has undergone 20th-century alterations. It features a timber-framed structure with painted brick infill, a brick refacing, a sandstone plinth, and part weatherboard cladding on the south gable, topped with a tiled roof. The building is arranged in an L-plan, with the main block oriented east to west and a north-south cross-wing at the west end, facing south. There is a lean-to and a 20th-century extension at the rear, and a large central stack provides baffle-entry to the south front.
The farmhouse is two storeys high with a cellar. The south front includes the gable of the cross-wing on the left, which has a three-light casement window. The main block has three windows with segmental brick heads, featuring 2- and 3-light casement windows, as well as a 4-light window and two 2-light windows on the ground floor to the right of a projecting gabled porch that has a half-glazed door. There is a cellar entry on the lower west side of the cross-wing. The framing is fairly complete and visible at the rear and on the east gable, displaying four square panels from the sill to the tie-beam, with angle braces to the tie-beam and weatherings in the gable. The central stack has four conjoined star-plan brick shafts.
