Description
Low House Farmhouse and the adjoining barn date from the early 18th century. The farmhouse features painted roughcast walls beneath a graduated greenslate roof that is hipped to the right, with brick and roughcast chimney stacks. It is two storeys high and has two bays, with a right-angled barn attached to the right, creating an overall L-shape. There is a plank door set within a 19th-century roughcast porch. The windows are flat stone-mullioned and have glazing bars. The barn has a blank wall on the right side, while the end wall includes plank doors, a loft door, and openings framed in stone. Inside the farmhouse, there is a beamed ceiling. Additional barn extensions made of brick and breeze-block are not of interest.
