Lowman Green Cottage

Lowman Green Cottage is a mid-17th century cottage that has been modernised and enlarged around 1970. It is constructed of plastered cob on stone rubble footings, with a stone rubble stack and a plastered brick chimney shaft, topped with a thatched roof. The cottage features a three-room plan facing east, with the central room containing an axial stack that backs onto the left (south) room, which is smaller and unheated; this room is now used as a kitchen. To the right is a 20th-century one-room extension that includes the current entrance hall and staircase.

The exterior has an irregular three-window front with 20th-century casements featuring glazing bars. The front doorway, located towards the right end, has a 20th-century door and a contemporary thatch-roofed porch. The roof is half-hipped at both ends, and there is a 20th-century bay window at the rear of the central room.

Inside, the 17th-century house retains much of its original carpentry detail. The main room has a stone rubble fireplace with a soffit-chamfered oak lintel. The crossbeam in this room is also soffit-chamfered and features bar-scroll stops. The small end room has a plain soffit-chamfered axial beam. The roof structure over this section is supported by A-frame trusses, which originally had dovetail-shaped lap-jointed collars. One of the principal rafters is set onto a vertical wall post, and another principal displays a unique carpenter's mark.
