Lower Farmhouse

Farmhouse. Built in the early 17th century, with significant remodeling in the early to mid-18th century, and later additions and alterations. Constructed of uncoursed and roughly coursed limestone rubble, with a stone slate roof. The building has a largely "L" shaped plan, with an additional range projecting at right angles to the rear, to the left of the main range. It is two storeys high, with an attic.

The front of the main range has three windows; these are 2-light chamfered stone mullion windows with dripmoulds, except for a single-light rectangular opening in the centre of the first floor. A mid-19th century gabled stone porch sits centrally, featuring a Tudor outer arch over a contemporary flush 4-panel door set within an earlier moulded stone surround. Two 19th-century gabled dormers are positioned directly above the outer windows on the front slope. The gable end has a chamfered mullion window and an integral end stack with a dripstone and moulded capping. The projecting range features two 2-light mullion windows, similar to those on the main range, on both floors; the windows to the left are now infilled. This range also has an integral end stack with a dripstone and moulded capping.

The south front was remodeled in the early to mid-18th century, with four glazing bar sash windows in ashlar surrounds, each with projecting keystones on both floors: three to the left and one to the right of the entrance, the latter being tripartite. An infilled mullion window sits to the left of the right window on the first floor. An open-pedimented pilastered doorway leads to a double flush 6-panel door. An integral end stack with a dripstone and moulded capping is located to the right. The rear range has segmental-headed 19th-century casement windows and a boarded door with a rectangular overlight on the ground floor. A gabled half-dormer on the right incorporates a chamfered mullion window. Ridge and end stacks match those on the front. The rear of this range features two 3-light chamfered mullion windows on the ground floor, and two gabled half-dormers, also with chamfered mullion windows. An open lean-to extends around the rear of the main range, connecting to a 19th-century outbuilding attached to the rear gable end of the projecting range.

Internally, a room to the left of the entrance on the south front retains complete early 18th-century raised and fielded panelling and has hanging garlands adorning a contemporary carved wooden fireplace surround, along with panelled window shutters. The room to the right of the entrance features a plaster cornice and inset wall cupboards with H-hinges. The staircase in the hall between the two rooms has stick balusters to an open string, and ball finials to square newels with a panelled dado. A room on the first floor to the left of the main range contains early 17th-century painted square and rectangular panelling, while the room to the right of the entrance on the first floor has panelling similar to that on the ground floor. Another room on the first floor, to the left of the main range, also showcases square and rectangular panelling. Wide boarded floors are present on the first floor, and large panelled doors are found throughout the house. The attic space has a double-purlin collar and tie-beam roof.
