Description
Low Longlands is a farmhouse and adjoining barn, dated and inscribed over the cross-passage entrance with the initials IRF and the year 1688. The building has 19th-century alterations and an extension. It features roughcast over cobble rubble and is topped with a 20th-century tile roof and stone chimney stacks. The structure is two storeys high, consisting of two bays with a two-bay extension to the left and a two-bay barn to the right, all under a common roof.
The cross-passage entrance, located between the barn and the house, has a plank door set in a painted chamfered surround with a dated lintel. The windows are irregularly spaced, including casement and sash types; the smaller windows likely retain their original surrounds, while the larger ones are from the 19th century. There is a blocked fire window to the right. The extension features two 20th-century doors in plain reveals under painted lintels, along with sash windows in painted stone surrounds.
The barn has an enlarged cart entrance to the right and a plank door to the left, with a loft door above. There is also a small blocked opening on the upper floor with a chamfered surround, which is now a pigeon hole. The right-angle barn extension is not of interest.
