Description
Low Hall Garth is a complex of three houses and a barn, dating from the late 17th century and early 18th century, with a court cupboard dated 1689 and an addition from the 18th century. The building is arranged in an L-plan, with the farmhouse facing northeast and a rear range that includes the barn and two cottages facing northwest. It is constructed of stone rubble, with the houses painted and a slate roof.
The structure is two storeys high and features two bays, with the gable end of the barn located to the right. The windows are fitted with casements, and the entrance is sheltered by a slate gabled canopy. There is a T-plan gable-end stack. Inside, there is a stone stair located to the right of the fireplace, and the barn includes ventilation slots. The left side of the barn has central barn doors and end doors, along with three cruck trusses that have windbraces, and a cow house with partitions on the left.
The cottages, which are from the 18th century, consist of two bays with an added bay, a slate drip course, a gabled porch, casement windows, and an end bay that is one storey high, complete with a return porch. There are also two gable-end stacks. The property is owned by The National Trust, having been gifted by Beatrix Potter.
