Lower Farmhouse

Lower Farmhouse, now a house, dates from the early to mid-17th century, with later additions and outbuildings in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, and again in the mid- to late-19th century. The main body of the house is constructed from limestone rubble with dressed stone quoins. A later extension to the roadside front is of coursed squared and dressed limestone, while another extension dates to the mid- to late-18th century, also using coursed squared and dressed limestone. The roof is covered in stone slates and there are ashlar stacks, some of which have been restored in the 20th century.

The building is arranged in an 'L' shape, with the late 17th to early 18th century extension abutting the east gable end. Mid- to late-19th century outbuildings adjoin the south-east corner, and a mid- to late-19th century extension projects from the rear angle. The main body stands two storeys and an attic, while the extensions are two storeys and the outbuildings are single-storey.

The south front, which serves as the garden front, features a forward-facing gable with a gablet to the right. This gable contains two tripartite sash windows, one with a relieving arch, to the ground floor, alongside a two-light stone-mullioned casement window with a stopped hood. To the right of this window are two mid-18th century two-light casements, also with stopped hoods. A single two-light ovolo-moulded casement with a stopped hood sits in the gable and its gablet. A mid- to late-19th century part-glazed door, featuring coloured and decorative frosted glass, is set within a 20th-century artificial stone gabled porch positioned off-centre to the right. The west gable end has four-light ovolo-moulded stone-mullioned casements to the ground floor, with similar two- and three-light casements above. Two three-light ovolo-moulded casements with hoods are visible on the roadside front, otherwise obscured by a later lean-to. A two-windowed mid- to late-19th century extension slightly projects to the right, containing two tripartite sashes to the left-hand bay and single-light casements with glazing bars to the right-hand bay. The building includes projecting gable-end and axial stacks, with others positioned axially. The interior has not been inspected.
