Description
Lower Farm Cottages is a pair of cottages that were formerly a small farmhouse, dating from the 16th century or earlier. They are timber framed and plastered, topped with a pantile roof that is hipped at the south end and gabled at the north, featuring Suffolk verge boards. The cottages are one storey high with attics and include an off-centre 'L' shaped stack, a gable end stack, and two gabled dormers. There are later single storey gabled extensions that project forward at both ends of the front. The cottages have two plain entrance doors and a mix of 19th century casement windows, some with small panes, some with single horizontal glazing bars, and one early 19th century double hung sash window with small panes. Inside, there is a probable small open hall with heavy framing, joists, and jowled posts. Cottage No. 2 features an early inglenook fireplace beneath the old ridge line stack.
