Lower Davis Farmhouse

Lower Davis Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates back to 1630, although it has been significantly altered and extended in the 19th century. The building is constructed of whitewashed rendered stone and cob, featuring gable-ended slate roofs, with some brickwork present at the rear. Originally, it may have consisted of three cells in a line, but at some point, the lower end was demolished and rebuilt to the rear, resulting in a rough T-shaped plan. The hall has a rendered lateral front stack with slated offsets, while the right gable end has a stack that heats the inner room, which features oversailing brick courses at the top.

At the rear, there is a service range positioned at right angles to the two main rooms, which includes a gable end rendered rubble stack that also heats the stable block, rebuilt in brick and projecting to the left behind the service wing. There are two back-to-back outshuts with slated lean-to roofs in the central valley between the inner room and the service wing. The farmhouse is two-storeys high and has two sash windows on the facade, with marginal glazing bars above a 19th-century window that has three lights, each with eight panes.

Inside, the hall features 17th-century ovolo-moulded beams and a fireplace lintel, along with a scroll-stopped beam in the inner room. A plank door at the rear is carved with the date 1855. The chamber above the inner room, now a bathroom, contains 17th-century plasterwork, including a T-shaped plaster tablet with a triangular base. This features a single central palmette and inscriptions reading "James and Marie Joce" across the shoulders, along with "1630" and "R & M" at the base.
