Description

Lower Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century. It is timber framed, with a colour washed rough cast exterior and a clay tile roof. The building has a three-room plan and is two storeys high with attics. A red brick ridge stack with three linked diagonally-set shafts is located between the two western rooms.

On the south elevation, the west end features a one-storey lean-to extension made of timber frame with brick infill. There is also a one-storey brick lean-to extension at the west end of the north elevation. In 1982, a two-storey gable-ended extension was added to the centre of the north elevation, creating a T-plan layout. All extensions have a colour washed rough cast finish. The farmhouse retains a leaded four-light casement window on the south-east corner of the southern extension, while all other windows are 20th-century leaded casements designed in a similar style.
