Lower Buckland

This is an early 17th-century farmhouse, altered in the mid-19th century. It is timber-framed with rendered infill, built on a rubble base, and partially finished with roughcast, sandstone rubble walling, and corrugated metal cladding. The roof is tiled and corrugated metal, with 19th-century brick ridge stacks. The house has a T-plan, consisting of a main range of four framed bays aligned north-west/south-east, with a 19th-century brick chimney at its north-west end. An adjoining wing of three framed bays has a central chimney bay on its south-west side, connected to the second bay from the north-west end of the main range. The house is two storeys high with an attic. The timber framing on the front elevations features six panels extending from the sill to the wall plate. Trusses are not visible externally. The south-west front is partially obscured by planting to the left of the wing. To the right of the wing is a ground and first-floor 3-light 19th-century casement window, and a ledged and battened door. The wing’s gable end has a 16-pane ground floor sash window, while a first floor window is partially visible. The left side of the wing retains original windows on both floors, each with eight lights, moulded frames, mullions, and transoms. The ground floor window retains two leaded lights. There is also a ground floor single-light leaded casement and a first floor 3-light casement. The right side of the wing includes a ground floor 16-pane sash window, a 19th-century single-light casement, a 3-light casement, and a 19th-century ledged and battened door. 19th-century lean-to additions have been made to the rear of the building. The interior, which is partly accessible, includes run-out and ogee stop-chamfered main ceiling beams.
