Description

Lower Roughway Farmhouse is a late 18th-century cottage pair that has been converted into a single residence. It is constructed of red brick and features a plain tiled roof that slopes down to a catslide on the left side. The building has a ridge stack and two small dormers. It stands two storeys high with an attic and has an irregular front with three windows, which include a mix of casements and sash windows. There are two entrances located in the centre; the door on the left is panelled and has a flat projecting hood above it. The farmhouse has a T-shaped plan, with a projecting two-storey wing at the rear made of rubble stone and red brick dressings.
