Lower House

Lower House is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the late 17th century with some minor later additions and alterations. It is constructed of roughly coursed limestone rubble and features a stone slate roof with moulded coped verges and kneelers. The building has an L-plan layout with a low range at the rear on the right. It stands two storeys high with an attic, displaying a moulded wooden eaves cornice that is interrupted by a central gabled full dormer. This dormer has a stop-chamfered stone dripmould at the eaves level and a dripmould above a 2-light mullion window. The verges are moulded and coped, with kneelers and a ball finial at the apex.

The front of the house has five windows, featuring chamfered leaded cross windows with a continuous dripmould on the ground floor. There are gabled 2-light leaded dormers located in the middle of the roof slope on both the left and right sides. The central entrance consists of a 6-panel door set in a moulded stone surround, topped with a rectangular overlight and a flat wooden hood supported by elaborately carved scrolled brackets. The building has integral end stacks with moulded capping and bases, and there is a lean-to structure attached to the rear of the rear range. The interior was not inspected during the last survey in May 1987, but it is likely to be of interest.
