Lower Watchingwell

Lower Watchingwell is a house dating from the early 17th century, originally designed as a lobby entrance house and later extended in the 18th century. It is constructed from Isle of Wight stone rubble with red brick dressings and features an old tiled roof with two brick chimneystacks. The building has two storeys and attics in the gable ends, and includes three cambered headed triple casements. There is a weather porch with a slate roof and a round-headed entrance, along with a catslide roof at the rear. The left wing of the house incorporates a former brewhouse.

Inside, there is an early 17th-century beam with a 4-inch chamfer and lambs tongue stop, as well as a stone inglenook fireplace featuring lambs tongue stops. The early 19th-century staircase has stick balusters and a column newel. The roof structure includes two tiers of purlins, and there is a 17th-century attic plank door on pintle hinges.
