Description

Lower House is a house dating from around 1700, constructed of red brick with black and red pantiled roofs. It comprises two wings, one attached at right angles to the other. The south-facing wing is two storeys and has attics, with a single-storey extension to the east. The west-facing wing is two storeys high and has five bays.

The south facade has three windows and a central raised and fielded six-panel door with a semi-circular fanlight featuring vertical glazing bars. The door is framed by timber pilasters and an entablature, topped with a projecting broken pediment. Two-light transomed casement windows are set within flat gauged brick arches and have single glazing bars with wrought iron casements. A brick plinth is present, along with a moulded brick platband at first-floor level. The eaves feature a brick modillion cornice, moulded brick kneelers, curved gables and end stacks. Two segmental-headed dormers are visible, each containing a two-light window with wrought iron casements.

The west-facing wing features alternating windows and blank panels. An 18th-century door and frame with fanlight, and a door and window from the early 20th century have been inserted. At first floor, two early 18th-century two-light transomed windows, with wrought iron casements are located here; the right-hand window contains leaded lights and possibly 18th-century glass. This wing also has flat gauged brick arches, a plinth, a moulded brick platband at first-floor level, and dentil eaves. Platbands are present on the north gable, at mid-first floor and mid-gable level. The parapet verge features brick tumbling. A central axial stack and a gable stack are present. Monogram tie irons are on the west gable, inscribed B.W.?
