Lower Sigdon

Lower Sigdon is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the 17th century, with later 19th or 20th century windows. It is constructed of rubble with brick stacks and a slate roof. The building consists of two sections with a split ridge level, set gable-end to the road. It likely has a cross passage and a three-room plan, with a stair turret at the back.

The house has two storeys and the front features four windows arranged as 2+2, all of which are 2-light glazing-bar casements, except for a 3-light window to the left of the door in a 20th century lean-to porch. There is a brick eaves stack at the junction between the two units, and the right side has a hipped roof with a brick eaves stack at the end. The road-facing side has a 2-light glazing-bar casement, and there are various lean-to additions that are not of special interest.

At the back, there are several 2 or 3-light casements, some with glazing bars, along with a 20th century door and porch. The roof over the stair turret is swept down, featuring a small light. The interior has been significantly altered, including a complete 20th century roof structure, but it retains a notable slate spiral staircase, with signs of an upper flight that likely led to a former larger roof space. A later straight stair was added in the 20th century.

The central kitchen has a large slate slab lintel and a deep chamfered rough transverse beam. The upper end of this room features a panel and muntin screen, likely from the 17th century, which is located beneath a partition wall at the upper level, possibly hiding a further plank wall, parts of which are visible in the roof space. The building has changes in level, with the lowest end positioned away from the road. It is said to have been a long house, although evidence for this is now limited.
