Higher Lidwell

Higher Lidwell is a late 17th-century farmhouse, now a house, located in Stoke Climsland. The building is constructed of roughly coursed slate-stone rubble with granite quoins and end stacks, and has a slate roof. It is two storeys high. The front features four 20th-century casement windows directly below the eaves and two to the ground floor with granite lintels, inserted in the late 20th century, one to either side of a roughly central half-glazed door set under a 20th-century gabled porch. A further half-glazed door, protected by a lean-to hood, is located to the far left. A projecting cloam oven is visible on the right end stack, which also has drips.

The rear has a three-light chamfered flat-faced mullion window to the ground-floor right. The cill or lintel of a mullion window has been reused as the sill for the central first-floor window. An external lateral stack with a cloam oven projection is also present.

Internally, the house has undergone significant alterations in the late 20th century, but the right-hand ground-floor room retains three original joists and a large inglenook fireplace with wedged voussoirs and a keystone. A bread oven constructed of well-constructed granite blocks sits to the right of the fireplace, with a cloam oven to the left. A smaller fireplace in the back wall also has a cloam oven. The roof is steeply pitched with a seven-bay collar truss design, cambered collars and an original trenched purlin visible in the roof space.
