Description

Lower House Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid-17th century. It is constructed of rubble stone with stone dressings and features a gabled machine-tiled roof, which has a central ridge brick stack on a stone base. The building has two storeys and an attic, with three bays on the south front that include modern windows and one original 17th-century two-light window with an ovolo moulded mullion and a dripstone below the south gable. There are additional three and four-light 17th-century mullioned windows on the west and north fronts. A 20th-century door leads to the exterior, while the original 17th-century studded plank door with an iron lock remains attached at the back. To the east, there is a later two-storey extension featuring modern three-light casements and a modern dormer. Inside, the farmhouse has two stopped and chamfered beams.
