Description
Low Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates mainly from the 16th and 17th centuries and was built in two or possibly three phases. It features a timber frame and a plastered roof covered with plain tiles. The building has two storeys and includes four late 19th-century casement windows. There is a lobby entrance that has a mid-20th-century thatched porch and a boarded door. An internal stack is present, along with various lean-to additions. The interior retains some exposed timbering, but it has been significantly modernised overall.
