Description
Lowes Farm House is a house dated 1637, with later additions. It is constructed of coursed flint with brick dressings and has a steep pantile roof. The building is a single range with four bays, two storeys, and an attic. It features internal gable end stacks with shafts set back from the gables and projecting gable parapets. The front has a flint plinth with a moulded brick cap and patterned brickwork in lozenge shapes. There are four windows that were enlarged and changed in 1976, featuring wooden mullioned and transomed casements. The central doorway is flanked by a left-hand gable made of flint, which has brick pattern work of lozenges and looped zig-zags. The windows on this gable have brick frames and moulded brick hood moulds, and there are two attic windows with brick mullions. A lean-to extension is located below, and there is a two-storey addition to the right-hand gable that is of no special interest.
Inside, a wall post supporting a bridging beam in the right-hand room has a carved head with strap work and the initials RAG GAR 1637. The left-hand room features roll moulding with decorative stops on the principal beams.
