Description

Low Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1628, featuring the initials I.P. on the door lintel, although it appears to have been significantly restored in the 18th century. The building is constructed of large squared tooled coursed stone. The roof has been renewed with modern pantiles and includes off-centre and rebuilt right end chimneys, along with stone copings. Notably, there is a row of four pointed pigeon holes in the south gable. The farmhouse has a through-passage plan and consists of two storeys. The left part of the house has three wide bays, while the right bay contains a granary with a stone forestair and various extensions. The windows are casements with keystones above the lintels. There are brick rear extensions that are not of interest.
