Low Farmhouse

Low Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating from the 17th century, built in two phases. It features a timber frame with plaster, including some old plasterwork with chevron pargetting, and has a thatched roof. The building has a three-cell layout, with the earlier section to the right of the stack slightly set forward at the front. It is one and a half storeys tall and has various casement windows, mostly from the 19th century, along with two hooded dormers. There is a 20th-century gabled porch with a plank door. Inside, the older section, possibly from the early 17th century, consists of two bays with plain first-floor studding and straight corner braces. The ground floor ceiling is plastered and features a chamfered bridging beam. The center cell includes a crudely-chamfered bridging beam, irregular plain joists set flat, and an open fireplace. Most of the frame in this section is concealed. There is a semi-newel stair by the stack, but the roof timbers have not been examined. An external gable stack from the 19th century is located to the left, set just forward of the roof ridge, with a colourwashed brick addition at its base.
