Lower House

Lower House is a 17th-century house constructed with a timber frame on a stone rubble plinth, featuring areas of later red brick nogging and sections clad in corrugated iron sheets. The building has a gabled-ended plain tile roof, which is also partly covered in corrugated iron sheets. A sandstone rubble lateral stack with a brick shaft is present. The plan is rectangular with a single room and a lateral fireplace on one side.

The house has two storeys and an attic, with doorways located at either end. The exterior displays exposed scroll framing, with some panels now open, some brick nogged, and parts of the elevations faced in corrugated iron sheets. Diagonal corner braces and struts are visible in the gables. A large sandstone lateral stack projects from the northeast side, and there is a large 20th-century corrugated iron sheet outbuilding attached to the southwest side.

Inside, the first and second floors are supported by two intersecting cross-beams with straight cut stops. While the joists have been removed from the first floor, some remain on the second floor. Jowled posts support the wall-plates and second-floor tie-beams. The roof features a two-bay queen-post structure with high collars, although the queen-posts of the central truss are missing. The diagonal ridgepiece and rafters are intact. There are 19th-century brick fireplaces, which show evidence of an oven and kiln. The house is said to have been part of a small Quaker settlement.
