Description
Lower House is a house from the mid-17th century. It features a timber frame and plastered exterior with a peg tile roof. The building is two storeys high with attics and has an 'L' shaped plan. The roof is hipped down to create a catslide over a modern loggia at the north end. At the south end, the roof hips back to form the ridge of a wing with a gable at the rear. There is a central rebuilt ridgeline stack with attached diagonal shafts.
The front of the house has a central three-storey porch and stair tower with a gable and bargeboards. The entrance door is made of oak and framed in oak. On the first floor, there is an oriel window with 19th-century casements, where the central two lights are canted out in a 'V' shape on an oak bracket. The windows throughout the house are generally 19th-century casements with opening lights and small panes above a transom. The main lights feature a single central horizontal glazing bar.
On the ground floor, there are projecting rectangular bay windows with similar casements on either side of the porch, with the southern bay having a canted centre. A flat-roofed dormer and a minor stack are located on the south-facing roof slope. The timber frame is of typical but good quality, featuring unjowled posts and an elaborately stop-chamfered spine beam.
