Description
Lower Lana Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in 1857 for the Tetcott Estate. It features garden wall bond brick construction with chamfered granite rusticated quoins and a stone plinth, topped with a hipped slate roof and brick stacks. The farmhouse likely reused bricks from the Tetcott Manor house, which was built around 1700 and later dismantled. It has a double depth plan with an entrance on the side, typical of the Tetcott Estate farms, and includes a 2-storey lean-to on the left return at the rear.
The garden front is 2 storeys high and has 2 bays with sash windows; the first-floor sashes consist of 4 panes over 4 panes. The ground floor features tripartite sashes with 6 over 4 panes. All windows have flat brick arches with keystones and are set below stone drip ledges supported by stone brackets. The front door, located on the right return, has a flat slate canopy held up by curly granite brackets. It is a contemporary door with a rectangular fanlight and characteristic diamond glazing bars found in the Estate farmhouses. While the interior has not been inspected, it may still contain contemporary joinery. The reuse of early brick is a notable feature of the house. Additionally, a contemporary barn and shippon range in the farmyard are also constructed from reused early brick, making the two buildings an unusual group.
