Lower House Farmhouse

Lower House Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century, which has been altered and refaced in the mid to late 18th century, with further changes made in the mid-19th century and mid-20th century. The building is timber-framed, partly rendered, and partly rebuilt in rubble with additional rubble sections. It features slate roofs, with the main range having a half-hipped roof at the east end and a hipped roof at the west end. The farmhouse has a T-plan layout, with the main range consisting of three bays aligned east to west and an intersecting cross-wing of two framed bays at the east end.

The cross-wing includes an external rendered rubble chimney with a moulded capping on the west side elevation. The structure is two storeys high with an attic. The framing is not visible from the outside. On the north front elevation, the main range has two ground floor windows; one is blocked and features a rusticated lintel with a raised keyblock, while the other has a 3-light 19th-century casement window. The first floor has two 3-light casements and one 2-light casement, all with rusticated lintels and raised keyblocks. The main entrance, located to the left, has a 20th-century gabled timber porch and a ledged and battened door. The cross-wing to the right has a first-floor 3-light casement at its gable end, and there is a door at the angle with a blind, pointed transom light. An attic light is present at the east end.

Adjoining the east end is a single-bay 19th-century wing that is two storeys high, featuring a first-floor 2-light casement with a reused held corbel beneath the sill and a partly-glazed 20th-century door in its north elevation. There is also a 20th-century single-storey addition to the rear left. The interior has not been inspected, but it is reported that the cross-wing framing is intact and has square panels.
