Description

The stable at Lower Farm, located 10 meters east of the house, is an 18th-century structure that has been converted into a garage. It features a timber frame that is dark weatherboarded and topped with a steep half-hipped roof made of old red tiles. This long, low building faces south and includes two stable doors on the eastern part and two garage doors on the western part. There is a gabled lucam in the center with a door leading to the loft. The stable is significant for its contribution to the view of the farm group at the entrance to the village from the north and is included for its group value.
