Lower Farmhouse

Lower Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around 1600. It is 1 and a half storeys high and features a timber-framed structure that is partly rendered and mainly encased in mid-19th century red brick. The roof is made of reed thatch with a decorated ridge. There is an internal chimney stack with a plain red brick shaft, along with a 19th-century stack located externally on the north end wall.

The ground storey has early 20th-century windows of 4, 3, and 2 lights, designed in a mullion-and-transom style with gauged heads to the surrounds. The upper storey includes three gabled dormers with 3-light casement windows, as well as three eyebrow dormers along the rear slope of the roof. The entrance is a lobby located inside a mid-19th century five-sided brick porch topped with a tented plain-tiled roof.

At the rear, there is a single-storey brick lean-to, which is partly rendered and has a pantiled roof, extending the full length of the wall. Inside, the studding and main ceiling beams are visible. The layout follows a three-cell plan, although the third unit at the north end may have been added later. At the south end, the partition that originally divided the service bay into two has been removed, revealing a blocked original window behind the brick facing on the upper storey of the gable.
