Description

Lower Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, which was remodeled in the mid to late 18th century and has had later additions and alterations. The building features pebbledash rendering, likely covering a timber frame in the 17th-century sections, and has plain tiled roofs. It stands two storeys high with an attic. The 18th-century facade on the north side extends across the gable of the 17th-century cottage, creating the appearance of a three-bay front. The first floor has glazing bar sash windows, and there is a central entrance with a simple Tuscan doorcase that includes reeded columns and a rectangular overlight above a 20th-century door. The 17th-century range to the south has a double span roof, a gabled eaves dormer, and a square glazing bar sash window that lights the staircase. Below the dormer, there is a late 19th-century casement window on the ground floor. The building also features an external lateral stack on the left, an end stack on the right, and a large axial valley stack on the left.
