Description
Lower House is a cottage with attached farm buildings, now functioning as a single dwelling. It dates from the 16th to 17th century and was altered in the late 19th century. The exterior is roughcast over rubble, featuring a thatched roof with a hipped west end and a double Roman tiled roof on the independently roofed east wing, which is half hipped. There is an external stack on the south-east gable end and a stone stack on the north gable end.
The cottage is L-shaped in plan, with a two-cell south front and an entrance on the east front, which includes an agricultural addition to the east wing. It is one and a half storeys tall, with mostly 20th-century casements. The east front has an external stack on the left gable end, two dormers on the right, and an agricultural building abutting the ground floor. There is an inserted window to the right of the stack, and a segmental headed leaded 2-light casement to the right of diagonally boarded double doors. The re-entrant angle of the wing is lit only at ground floor level, featuring a 2-light leaded casement on the left and three 19th-century leaded iron casements. The gable end has garage doors with a 2-light 20th-century window above. The south front wall has the left-hand bay set back below the hip of the roof, with two dormers, a thatched roof canted bay with a 3-light casement, and half-glazed double doors to the left. The interior has not been seen.
