Description

Lower Mowley is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with an extension from the late 18th or early 19th century, and significant remodeling that took place in the early 20th century. The building has a timber-framed core, with sections of wattle-and-daub and painted brick infill, which were mostly refaced with brick during the early 20th century. The late 18th or early 19th century addition is made of sandstone rubble and features a Welsh slate roof.

The farmhouse consists of five bays aligned north to south, with a later addition extending to the west from the center of the west front. It has two storeys and includes a main axial stack and a lateral stack on the later addition. The west front features one 2-light casement window to the right and two similar windows on the ground floor to the left of a lean-to porch with a ledged door. The central gable end of the later addition has a 2-light casement window and a canted bay with casement windows on the ground floor. To the left are a pair of 2-light casement windows, and to the right is another similar window. The main house to the right has a pair of similar windows and a 3-light casement window flanking a square-headed doorway with a ledged door.

The square panelled timber-framing is visible in this section and also at the rear of the building. The interior has been largely altered, with a 19th-century staircase added into the through-passage. However, it retains a good cross-beamed ceiling and plastered decoration featuring tree and bird motifs in the room at the north end.
