Description
Lower Hammond Farm House is a building that dates back to the early 16th century, with extensions added in the late 16th, 17th, and late 19th centuries. The house features a timber frame that is exposed in the center and to the left, with brick infilling. The right extension is made of red and brown brick, and the roofs are covered with plain tiles, hipped on the extension and lower in height. The left wing has a gabled end adorned with fine, cusped bargeboards.
The house is L-shaped, with a re-entrant angle facing the yard and a gable end wing that projects to the left. There is a crown post in the left gable end and one casement window on each floor. A pentice extension runs to the right of the wing, which includes a first-floor window and a door. On the ground floor, there is a cambered head casement window to the right. The building has stacks located at the rear right, on the end right, and on the left side.
The left return front is underbuilt in brick and features tension bracing on the first floor, with three framed bays. The front stack is half-offset to the right of center, and there is a door to the left of the stack within a pentice porch.
