Description
Low Tilberthwaite is a house that features a court cupboard inscribed with "RWI 1687" and has an 18th-century extension to the left. The building is constructed of roughcast stone and has a slate roof. It is two storeys high and consists of four bays, with the first two bays originally serving as stables, which include an open-fronted gallery on the first floor from the 18th century. The windows are fitted with small-paned casements. There are two entrances beneath the gallery; the house entrance has a wide-boarded door and a slate gabled canopy. The house has a cross-axial stack and a corbelled gable-end stack. The rear of the building is unpainted and features a later lean-to outshut with a two-light wood mullioned window. The property is owned by The National Trust, having been gifted by Beatrix Potter.
