Description
Lower Eyton Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 18th century, possibly incorporating a core from the 17th century, with late 19th-century additions. It features a red brick rebuilding of what may have been a timber-framed house, along with 19th-century coursed rubble additions that have red brick dressings and plain tile roofs. The main range is aligned north-south, with the 19th-century rebuilding to the north and additional structures to the west.
The farmhouse is two storeys high with an attic. The east front has a plat band to the left and a dentil brick eaves cornice on the right-hand 19th-century addition, along with a crow-stepped gable end to the left. There is an external brick end stack on the left, an integral brick end stack on the right, and a central external lateral brick stack at the rear. The front has three windows, mainly segmental-headed, featuring three-light 19th-century wooden casements. There is a two-light casement on the first floor to the right, which has a segmental relieving arch above and a blocked segmental-headed window below. A 20th-century segmental-headed window is inserted to the right of the central entrance, which consists of a glazed door with sidelights and a lean-to porch with a plain tile roof supported by curved brackets.
There is a straight joint off-centre to the right, with the right-hand part set back, and another straight joint to the left of the central first-floor window. A fire insurance plate numbered 2178 is visible on the east front. The right-hand part of the facade is partly obscured by adjoining farm buildings. At the rear, there is a 19th-century wing. Inside, the farmhouse features chamfered ceiling beams, an open fireplace with a chamfered lintel, and an early 18th-century dog-leg staircase with winders, square newel posts, and a moulded handrail. The adjoining farm buildings to the east incorporate parts of an earlier house.
