Description

Lower Church Farmhouse is a house that dates from the mid-17th century, with an early 18th-century extension and an early 19th-century rear wing and porch. It features rubble walls and double Roman tile roofs with raised coped verges. The building is two storeys high and has four windows, all of which are ovolo-moulded mullion casements, with three-light casements on the ground floor and two-light casements above. To the left, there are three windows set under continuous strings, with a tall gabled porch in the center displaying a crest and the motto "Futuris Laetamur." To the right, the windows, which do not have a string course, are mid to late 20th-century replicas. The return gable on this side has a string course above a tri-partite edge-moulded mullion window, while the first floor features a 20th-century casement. The interior has not been inspected.
