Lower Wear

Lower Wear is a house with an attached former barn, which is now part of the house. The barn likely dates from the 16th century, while the house itself is from the late 17th century. There have been extensive alterations to the barn in the 20th century, along with an addition to the house. The building is constructed of random rubble limestone, features an ashlar chimney, and has a stone slate roof.

The house is two stories tall and has two rear wings on the east side. The west front displays a two-window arrangement for the 17th-century house, with a three-light window on the ground floor and a two-light window above, all featuring chamfered mullioned casements. The ground floor windows have hoodmoulds. There is a central weatherboarded gabled porch that obscures one light of the adjacent window. To the left, the former barn has 20th-century mullioned windows. The building has a single ridge-mounted chimney with a chamfered cap. The south end features a gable end with a two-light mullioned casement window that also has a hoodmould. There is a two-story 19th-century rear wing with timber casements, along with a large 20th-century rear wing adjoining it. The interior has not been inspected.
