Lower Northcott Farmhouse

Lower Northcott Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in the early to mid 19th century. It is constructed of stone rubble with freestone and brick dressings, featuring a hipped slate roof with deep eaves on the main range and a gabled slate roof at the ends of the wing. The main range has brick stacks, while the wing has a stone stack. The layout consists of a 1 1/2-room deep main range with principal rooms on either side of a central entrance passage. The stair is located at the rear of the passage, along with smaller hall and service rooms. There is a crosswing at the left end that forms an L-plan; this crosswing has brick dressings and was used as a kitchen, possibly added in the later 19th century. The farmhouse is two storeys high and features a symmetrical three-bay main range with a central porch that has a hipped slate roof and a rectangular fanlight above the front door. The windows are 16-pane horned sashes with cambered freestone arches. The gable end of the crosswing on the left has a projecting stack with a bread oven, and at the rear, there is a round-headed stair window with margin glazing. The interior retains contemporary stair and joinery, along with 20th-century grates.
