Description
Lower Buckshaw Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century. It features coursed rubble walls and an asbestos slate roof with brick stacks at each end. The main range is nearly symmetrical, consisting of two storeys and a three-window range. The windows are three-light casements, likely from the 19th century, with horizontal glazing bars. The ground floor openings are set under wooden lintels, and there is a central four-panelled door. To the right, there is a two-storey extension that includes a single light window from the 20th century and a plain wooden door, also under a wooden lintel. At the rear, there is an outshut.
