Description
Lower Woolcotts is a late 18th-century cottage that has been converted into a farmhouse. It is constructed from local stone in random rubble and features a thatched roof with brick stacks at the gable ends. The building has a two-cell plan with a cross passage and an outshot that is enclosed at the rear. It stands one and a half storeys high and consists of three bays, each with three-light wooden casement windows that have 20th-century leading. The ground floor windows have wooden lintels, and there is a central gabled porch made from random rubble with brick quoins and jambs. Above the plank door, there is a rectangular light. The windows were renewed in the 20th century.
