Description
Lower Cowesfield Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with alterations made around 1800. It is constructed of Flemish bond brick and features a tiled roof with gable-end brick stacks. The building is two stories high and has three windows across the front. The central door has six reeded panels and a fanlight, set within a gabled porch. On either side of the door are two-light casements with segmental heads. The first floor has a three-brick plat band and three 12-pane sash windows. The eaves are toothed.
The left side of the building is made of 17th-century English bond brick and has distinctive brick and tile string courses at the first floor and attic levels, along with a planked door in a gabled porch to the right. The rear of the farmhouse features three two-light casements on both floors, a three-brick plat band, toothed eaves, and two hipped dormers in the roof. Inside, there is a chamfered beam with ogee or long shaped stops.
