Description
Lower Widhill Farmhouse is an early 18th-century building that has been altered, unless it is a clever reproduction. It features a square hipped roof and is constructed of rubble with a string course over the ground floor. The farmhouse has two storeys, a modern tiled roof, and two stone chimneys. The south front has two windows with early to mid-19th century casements, three lights on the ground floor. The east front includes three windows and a central gabled porch with a Caernarvon arch door and a hood. At the rear, there is a mid-19th century two-storey brick wing with three windows and a stone tiled roof, which connects to a lower pantiled stable block. The building formerly had a mansard hipped roof with dormers.
