Description
Lowick Hall is a house that features a south wing dating from the 16th or 17th century, originally serving as a pele tower, one of two such structures. The rest of the house was built in the mid-18th century, with a rainwater head dated 1746, and a porch added in the 19th century. The east elevation consists of two storeys and five bays, highlighted by a three-storey gabled bay to the south, which forms the south wing. This elevation includes a top frieze, cornice, and blacking course, along with a stone rainwater head and downpipe, and decorative bargeboards on the wing. The windows are architraved and sashed with horns; the wing features four-light chamfered wooden-mullioned windows, with a three-light window on the second floor.
The entrance, located in the fourth bay, has an ashlar porch with paired half-glazed doors and side windows, a dentilled cornice, and a parapet. Inside, there is a 12-panel door set in a 18th-century doorcase. The house has three gable-end stacks. The south elevation displays varied fenestration, including some mullioned windows, and features a large cross-axial stack with a rounded shaft. The north elevation has sashed windows with glazing bars on the rear wing, where the first-floor windows are original and have ovolo glazing bars, along with a lateral stack.
The rear of the house has three gabled bays, with the first two projecting. It includes sashed windows with glazing bars, a round-headed stair window flanked by pilasters and an archivolt, and a two-light window with leaded glazing in the third bay. The entrance is located in the second bay, and there are two gable-end stacks along with a return lateral stack.
Inside the south wing, there are stop-chamfered beams, a ground floor fireplace with an inset fireplace and oven, and a priest hole. A doorway with a chamfered frame leads to a spiral stair made of oak baulks. The first floor features two triangular-headed doorways with wide-boarded doors. The main house has doors with six and two fielded panels, and a fireplace adorned with panelled pilasters and a lintel featuring a shell motif. The open-string dog-leg stair has two column and vase balusters on the tread and scrolled tread ends, along with a fielded-panel dado. The first floor includes doorways with eared architraves and a pulvinated frieze with a pediment, fielded panelled partitions with dado and dentilled cornice, and a cupboard with glazed doors, a swan-neck pediment, and the Everard Crest.
