Description
Lower Farmhouse is an early to mid-18th century farmhouse, extensively altered in the 19th century. It is constructed of banded brick and flint, with a tiled roof and brick stacks at each end. The house is two storeys high with attics, and has a four-window front. Windows are 2- and 3-light casements with horizontal glazing bars, set within segmental brick arches. Several window openings on the upper floor have been blocked. A central plank front door is sheltered by a flat hood supported on slender columns. A first-floor band runs around the building.
