Description
Lower Bleansley is a farmhouse with a datestone that reads "ES/1666," featuring later additions. It is constructed of roughcast stone with ashlar dressings and has a slate roof. The southeast elevation is two storeys high and has five bays, with the third bay being an addition and the first and second bays converted from an outbuilding. The windows in the first and second bays are 20th-century insertions. The third bay has casement windows, while the fourth and fifth bays feature single-chamfered-mullioned windows with six and three lights, respectively; the ground floor windows have label moulds. There are entrances in the first and third bays, and the entrance between the fourth and fifth bays includes a 20th-century gabled porch that incorporates the datestone. The rear of the building has a gabled wing and a lean-to outshut built into the hillside.
