Description
Lower Ingon Farmhouse is a 16th-century farmhouse that has been altered and extended in the 17th and 18th centuries. It is timber-framed with brick infill, and has brick on the front, with old tile roofs. It features stone end stacks with brick shafts and a brick cross-axial stack with diagonal shafts. The farmhouse originally comprised two units, with a cross-wing added to the left and a single-storey rear wing.
The exterior has two storeys and a two-window range. A segmental-headed entrance with a lean-to canopy is located to the right of the wing. Another entrance, to the right of the centre, has a timber lintel and renewed half-glazed doors. The ground floor has a segmental-headed window with a three-light, small-paned casement and an iron opening; a similar window is in a hipped bay window to the right end. The first floor has a small square window to the left end with small-paned glazing. The cross-wing has exposed timber-framing and a large ashlar stack with fillets to the brick shafts, flanked by uPVC windows to the ground floor. The gable ends have large first-floor windows and an attached single-storey gabled range. The left return shows a three-light casement and a canted bay window; the first floor features three-light casements, one small-paned, and a gabled roof dormer. The rear wing has a two-light casement and an entrance with wide-boarded doors and strap hinges. The rear of the main range has a central entrance with a gabled porch and plank door, with segmental-headed windows on either side, one small-paned with an iron opening casement. The first floor has two small windows with two-light casements, one leaded and one small-paned. A single-storey range to the left has an entrance and a shuttered window. The cross-wing displays some visible framing and a large stack with diagonal shafts, with the gable carried down to the left over a small square light. One wing has an entrance with a plank door and a three-light small-paned casement.
The interior includes exposed beams, flag floors, and a large fireplace in the central room with a chamfered bressumer and a timber heck partition to the left. Another room has a 16th-century ashlar fireplace with a moulded opening, and heavy plank doors with battens.
