Description

Lower Crahan Farmhouse, including front garden walls, gate-piers, and gate, is a farmhouse said by the occupier to have been built in 1857. The front is made of coursed dressed granite, while the chimneys are brick and located over the gable ends. The building has a double depth plan with two rooms at the front flanking a central entrance hall that leads to a stair hall between two service rooms. There is a later lean-to on the left side. The exterior is two storeys high with a symmetrical two-window south-south-west front and a central doorway. The original door and windows remain intact, featuring a four-panel door and 12-pane horizontally-sliding sashes. The rear of the farmhouse is also unspoiled, and the stair window matches the front windows. The interior has not been inspected. A rubble wall adjoins the right-hand side of the front at right angles, and the gateway in this wall has granite monolithic piers and a probably original wrought-iron gate.
