Description
Lower Miles Hope is a 17th-century farmhouse that has been largely altered in the 18th century, with further modifications in the late 19th and 20th centuries. The building has a timber-framed core that has mostly been refaced with sandstone rubble and brick, and it features a roof that is part tiled and part covered with hipped stone slates. The farmhouse is designed in an L-plan, with the earlier section facing northeast and a later stone wing added to the southeast end. It has lateral stacks and entrances on the northeast and southwest sides. The structure is two storeys high and includes part cellars.
On the northeast front, the hipped stone wing on the left has one three-light casement window on each floor and a lower doorway with a ledged door leading to the cellar on the left-hand return. The central range features one three-light multi-paned casement window below the eaves and a part-glazed door on the ground floor. The gable end of the earlier cross-wing on the right has one three-light casement window on each floor.
