Lowther Outdoor Activities Centre With Barn Adjoining

Lowther Outdoor Activities Centre, which includes an adjoining barn, is a farmhouse that has been adapted for use as an outdoor activities centre. It dates from the mid-18th century and has undergone some alterations in the 19th century. The building features painted rough-cast and incised rendered walls, topped with a graduated green slate roof and limestone chimney-stacks, some of which have been rebuilt.

The structure is two storeys high and consists of three bays, with a two-bay extension on the left and a two-bay former stable, all covered by a common roof. The lower right section is a three-bay barn. The house has a cross-passage doorway with a 20th-century door and overlight set in a painted stone surround. There are 20th-century casement windows also in painted stone surrounds. The left extension includes two large sash windows framed by 19th-century painted stone surrounds. The former stable features a plank door in a painted stone surround and a double-plank-door cart entrance. The barn has a projecting central cart entrance flanked by plank doors in stone surrounds.
