Low Loanthwaite Farmhouse

The farmhouse at Low Loanthwaite is likely from the early 17th century. It is built of roughcast stone and has a slate roof. Originally a three-bay dwelling, the house has casement windows, with dripstones above the ground floor windows. The first-floor windows project slightly above the eaves and have raking heads. A gabled slate canopy shelters the entrance, which is on the right-hand side. A former fire window, now blocked externally, is located at the left-hand end of the building. A gable-end stack protrudes from the roof. A gabled wing extends to the rear; the line of a former catslide roof above an outshut is visible on the left return. One rear window has a two-light mullioned frame, and a window on the left return was originally a spice cupboard.

The interior features two full cruck trusses with wind braces. A ground-floor partition has three doors, one pegged and one a two-panel door, along with a stud-and-plaster partition. On the first floor, there's a plank-and-mullion partition. The first bay has flat-laid joists, suggesting a possible full-height crogloft room. A good 19th-century range is also present. The property now belongs to The National Trust, given by Beatrix Potter.
