Description
Low Snab and the adjoining barn is a farmhouse and barn built in the mid-17th century, with some alterations made in the 19th century. The farmhouse features cement rendered walls beneath a graduated greenslate roof, complete with rendered chimney stacks. The barn, constructed from painted slate rubble, is located to the right of the farmhouse and both structures share a common roof.
The farmhouse has two storeys and three bays, with a plank door set within a stone porch that includes side seats. The windows are sash style, set in enlarged plain reveals. The barn contains plank doors and a loft doorway, with slit vents for ventilation.
Inside the farmhouse, there is a beamed ceiling, an inglenook fireplace with a firebeam, and a panelled spice cupboard. Notably, there is a built-in carved and panelled court cupboard that is dated and inscribed with "I.F. E.F. 1643," possibly referring to the names Fisher.
