Farmhouse At Lower Farm

The farmhouse at Lower Farm is a house dating from the 17th century or earlier. It features a timber frame set on a deep plastered brick plinth and is roughcast with a steep hipped roof that is now covered with slate. This large, two-storey house with attics is L-shaped and faces west, with a long rear wing extending east along a side road at the northern end. The front range is elevated above the road, supported by a red brick retaining wall, and is adorned with iron railings and large stone balls on piers at each end.

The front range has a three-cell internal chimney plan, with the chimney located a third of the way from the southern end and the entrance a third of the way from the northern end. There is a gabled stair wing in the rear angle. The front features three windows with flush box sashes that have 3/3 panes on the first floor, and two 19th-century bay windows on the ground floor flanking a six-panel raised and fielded door, which is sheltered by a flat hood on brackets. High in the roof, there are three gabled dormers with casement lights.

The two-storey part of the rear wing is plastered and has two flush box sash windows with 8/8 panes on the first floor, while the ground floor has two three-light flush casement windows. The eastern exterior of the wing features recessed sash windows in painted brick. The farmhouse was formerly known as Buckland Hill.
