Description

Lower Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 18th century and early 19th century. It is constructed of limestone rubble with brick dressings and some timber-framing, topped with Welsh slate and old plain tile roofs featuring brick gable stacks. The building consists of two parallel ranges and is two storeys high. The front range has four windows and is partly timber-framed on the first floor. It includes two doors with renewed and altered casements, and the framing is infilled with pebbledash, particularly on the left gable. The stack on the left has an 18th-century brick base. The later range features a three-window garden front with segmental brick arches. Inside, the farmhouse has been much altered but retains an open fireplace with a chamfered and stopped bressumer and a bread-oven.

Lower Farmhouse sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 730 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 80% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 75% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 36 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 64% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
