Description
Lower Huddishill Farmhouse is a farmhouse that was formerly two cottages, likely built in the 18th century. The structure features plastered cob on rubble footings, with a stone rubble stack topped by 20th-century brick, and a thatched roof. Originally, it consisted of a pair of one-room plan cottages facing east, each with a central axial chimney stack serving back-to-back fireplaces. The building has been converted into a farmhouse and includes a single-storey store from the late 19th to early 20th century, which is set back from the front on the right (northern) end.
The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a symmetrical two-window front with late 19th to early 20th-century casements and flanking outer doorways. Each doorway now features a 20th-century porch, with the left porch being gabled and tile-roofed, while the right porch has a monopitch roof made of corrugated plastic. The roof is hipped at both ends. The store at the right end has a hipped thatched roof. Inside, there are some plain carpentry details, including a plain chamfered crossbeam and a rubble fireplace with a plain oak lintel in the left room. The roof has not been inspected.
