Description

Low Bank Farmhouse is a late 18th century farmhouse with painted rendered walls and V-jointed quoins, topped by a graduated greenslate roof. The building is two storeys high and features three bays. There is a central 20th-century door set within a painted stone surround. The windows are sash style, framed by painted stone architraves. At the rear, there is a lean-to porch and a round-headed stair window with radial glazing bars. Inside, the farmhouse retains original stone fireplaces. The staircase includes a panelled dado, turned balusters, and a ramped handrail.
