Description

Lower Farm House and the attached barn are a farm house dating from the early 18th century, though it has an earlier core. The building is constructed of brick and timber frame, topped with a pantiled roof. It features a lobby entrance plan with 2½ storeys, two 2-storey wings, and a 1-storey outshut to the north, along with an attached barn to the west.

On the south side, there are three windows, an off-centre half-glazed panelled entrance door, and a 20th-century gabled timber porch. The original openings contain 20th-century casement windows with segmental arches at ground floor level. The house has a brick plinth, a plat-band at the attic floor level, moulded brick kneelers, and a parapet gable on the east side. There are also two 20th-century gabled dormers. The rendered timber frame is visible at the first floor level on the northwest side, which has tumbling in and a 20th-century gable stack. The barn features central doors on the north and south sides and a weatherboarded timber framed gable on the west.
