Description
The Lower Mawfield Farmhouse is probably of 17th-century origin, with possible earlier elements and later alterations. It is a timber-frame building with brick infill and a brick rear wall, topped with a hipped Welsh slate roof and a brick ridge stack. The farmhouse is arranged in a U-shape, with the main range running roughly north/south and return wings to the east. It has two storeys and attics.
The west elevation has four windows, which are mid-20th century glazing bar casements, one set within each of the four exposed timber-framed gables. A 3-light mid-19th century casement is located on the ground floor of the left gable, and the right gable features an early 20th century glazed porch with two gables. Both right and left gables display V-struts above their collars, with the left gable also having two parallel angle struts to each corner post, and a vertical post between the V-struts. The timber frame consists of roughly square but irregular panels. The rear elevation has segmentally headed casements to the brick main range, while the left and right gables feature exposed timber-framing. A tall staircase rises from the north, over a kennel, to a door on the right hand side of the left gable. The interior, which has not been inspected, was noted by the Royal Commission on Historical Monuments as containing a 17th-century staircase, moulded ceiling beams, and other early features.
