Description
Lower Sturthill Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with significant alterations made in the 19th century. It features rubble-stone walls with large dressed quoins and some brickwork at the eaves. The roofs are covered with clay tiles and Roman tiles, and there is a brick stack on the inner left-hand gable. The building has an L-plan layout and consists of two storeys with attics.
The south elevation has four windows, which include three- and four-light stone mullions with hollow chamfers, likely re-inserted. There are also three wooden casements with wooden lintels above, and stone jambs and lintels remain in the blockings. The north elevation showcases early 18th-century brickwork that raises the eaves, with four-light stone mullions featuring labels above and wooden casements with horizontal glazing bars.
Inside, the farmhouse has straight-chamfered beams with filleted stops and an open fireplace in the north gable end, which has stone jambs and a straight-chamfered wooden lintel. A brick bread oven has been removed. A 20th-century stone porch located in the north-west angle of the house is not included in the listing.
