Description
Low House and the adjoining barn are a farmhouse and barn dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century. The farmhouse features cement roughcast walls beneath a graduated greenslate roof and has two levels, with roughcast chimney stacks. The barn is constructed from slate and cobble rubble. The farmhouse includes a three-light flat stone-mullioned window, which is situated below a similar two-light window. Other windows consist of Yorkshire sashes and casement windows, all framed in painted stone surrounds. The barn has a plain front wall, while the rear outshut features a 20th-century door and casement windows. The right-angled barn has a double plank door.
