Description
Lower Farm House is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th and 20th centuries. It features a timber frame with brick infill and additions, a thatched roof, and a tile addition. The building has three bays plus an added bay, is one and a half storeys high, and has a lean-to at one end. There is a 20th-century wing at the rear that matches the original style. The front of the house has an added bay on the left-hand side. Each bay has two-light casement windows, with four in the left-hand side of the centre bay. There are 20th-century two-light eyebrow dormers over each bay. The roof is half-hipped, with ridge stacks located over the left-hand bay, to the left of the centre bay, and between the right-hand bays. There is also a tile and brick lean-to at the right-hand end.
