Description
Lowe Farmhouse is a farmhouse with a core dating from the 14th or 15th century, which has been largely remodeled and extended during the 17th century, with late 19th-century alterations and further additions in the 20th century. The building features square panelled timber-framing that is revealed on the interior, while the exterior is completely roughcast. It has a sandstone rubble plinth and stacks with brick shafts, topped with a Welsh slate roof.
The earlier wing is aligned northeast to southwest and includes a cross-wing at the southwest end, with axial and lateral stacks, and an entrance on the southeast front. The earlier wing is single storey with an attic, while the cross-wing is two storeys. On the southeast front, there is a gabled dormer with a two-light casement window, a three-light casement window to the left, and a three-light and a four-pane window to the right of a ledged door. The return of the cross-wing to the left has two two-light casement windows. The cross-wing extends forward as an outbuilding, featuring three openings on the first floor and four openings on the ground floor, with one opening to the right and three to the left of stone external stairs.
Inside, part of one cruck truss is visible in the center of the main range, along with chamfered ceiling beams that have ogee stops.
