Description
Lower Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in the 18th century, with alterations from the 19th century and a 20th-century addition. It is constructed of brick laid in Flemish bond, featuring ashlar dressings. The roof is steeply pitched, covered with old tiles, and has stone-coped gables along with brick end stacks, the left stack having an ashlar cornice. The building is L-shaped, with a 20th-century re-entrant block.
The exterior consists of two storeys plus an attic and has a symmetrical five-window range. It features an ashlar plinth and quoins. The entrance includes a doorcase with pilasters and a pediment above a six-panel door, which has two glazed panels and panelled reveals. The segmental-headed windows on the ground floor have stone keys and cross-casements. There are also two gabled roof dormers with two-light casements. The left side of the building has an entrance with a plank door and two 20th-century windows. The rear includes a lateral stack at the return of the wing. The interior has not been inspected.
