Description
Lower Farmhouse is a cottage that was formerly two cottages, dating from the 17th to 18th century. It is constructed with a timber frame and clad in tarred weatherboard, topped with a red plain tiled roof that has an outshot at the rear. The building features a central red brick chimney stack and stands two storeys high. The facade has a two-window range with small paned vertically sliding sashes that have moulded surrounds, along with pentice boards on the ground floor. There are vertically boarded doors on both the left and right sides, each with flat canopies supported by brackets above. At the rear, there is a 19th or 20th-century outshot. Inside, the building remains virtually unaltered, retaining vertically boarded doors and stairs that are adjacent to the chimney stack.
