Lower Farm Farmhouse

This is a farmhouse, originally dating back to the late 16th century, with subsequent alterations in the 17th, 18th, and later centuries. Constructed of stone rubble with painted timber framing, brick, and rendered infill panels, it has plain-tile roofs and three projecting eaves stacks built of brick, rubble, and render, each with brick upper shafts. Two smaller ridge stacks are also present.

The building consists of L-shaped main ranges, featuring a lower, parallel two-bay range with a single-bay cross wing, and two smaller gabled extension wings. The north-east front has a central gable covering a framed gable to the left and a main range to the far left, with a gable of the parallel range to the right. The central gable has a 6/6 sash window on each floor, and a front entrance doorway with flat pilasters, brackets, and a flat canopy. This gable also features a close-studded gable-truss with a casement. The main range to the left is partially masked by 20th-century extensions and a large projecting stack, while the gable to the right has casements on each storey.

The south-east side has the main range overhanging a gabled end, supported by 20th-century brick piers. The gable features a cambered tie beam, vertical struts, a cambered collar, and twin raking struts. A large brick projecting stack and a single-storey 20th-century extension are located to the right. To the left is the gable of the parallel range, with a framed gable-truss and a 3-light casement. The north-west side presents a long side of the parallel range with square framing four panels high, a brick projecting stack dividing the bays, and a rendered stack to the right. A single casement is above a partly glazed panelled door, and another 20th-century casement is on the ground floor. The cross wing gable has a gable truss and a blocked window below.

The rear elevation includes a blocked window above a 3-light casement, a small rendered gabled extension wing, and an 18th-century painted brick two-window range with 4-light and 2-light first-floor casements over 20th-century casements. The interior has not been inspected.
