Lowertown Farmhouse

Lowertown Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th or 17th century. It has solid, rendered walls, with the rear gable wall of the rear wing made of painted stone rubble. The roof is thatched, half-hipped at the right-hand end and fully hipped on the left. In the center of the front wall, there is a projecting chimneystack, likely used for heating the former hall, featuring offsets and weathering, with a later shaft on top. The farmhouse likely follows a 3-room and cross-passage plan, with the rear wing at the lower end.

The building is two storeys high and has a three-window front. All windows, including those on the left-hand side wall facing the road and the rear wall of the wing, are late 19th or early 20th century wood casements without glazing bars. The doorway, located to the left of the projecting stack, has a chamfered wood frame from the 16th or 17th century with very worn stops. The plank door, probably from the 19th century, has an inserted light and 20th-century imitation strap hinges. Above the door is a hood made of corrugated asbestos, supported by early 19th-century shaped wooden brackets.

The windows in the front wall consist of two lights, except for the left-hand and middle ground-storey windows, which have three lights. The side wall facing the road has two windows on each storey, with the second storey featuring a three-light window to the right. There is a large projection at ground level, aligned with the chimneystack on the roof, which may be an oven. The rear wall of the wing has a single two-light window in the second storey. The interior has not been inspected, and no notable features are visible from the ground-storey rooms that can be seen through the windows, apart from exposed ceiling beams. However, it is likely that there are interesting features inside, possibly hidden under plaster.
