Upper Lowbourne

This is an early 17th-century farmhouse, altered in the late 18th century and restored in the mid-20th century. It is timber-framed with painted brick and rendered infill, some replacement brick walling and refacing, and has plain tiled roofs, with a parapet at the west gable. The building comprises a hall and a cross-wing; the hall runs east to west with a large external chimney that has offsets at the rear. The cross-wing is at the east end and has two framed bays with an external rubble chimney and two star-shaped stacks on the east elevation. The farmhouse has two storeys, an attic, and a cellar. A dentilled eaves cornice is present on the hall, and moulded bargeboards on the cross-wing. The cross-wing framing features three rows of panels above and below the girding-beam, with long straight braces in the lower corners of both storeys. A collar and tie-beam truss remains in the north gable end, featuring two collars with four struts to the lower collar and two to the upper. The south front of the hall has cross-casements in the 20th century, a two-light 20th-century casement above a former doorway with a cambered head, and a first-floor two-light casement. The east gable of the cross-wing has a large ground-floor four-light casement, a first-floor three-light casement with leaded lights, and an attic light. The interior has stop-chamfered main beams. The main entrance is at the rear of the cross-wing and is sheltered by a 20th-century half-glazed porch. A large 20th-century lean-to glazed addition is attached to the west elevation.
