Description
The farm buildings to the north of Low Leam farmhouse are listed as a Grade II structure, dating from the 16th and 18th centuries. They are constructed of random rubble with a Welsh slate roof. The complex includes a two-storey range, featuring an 18th-century store and granary on the left and a bastle house on the right. The bastle measures approximately 35 feet by 23 feet, with walls that are 4 feet thick.
The original ground floor doorway is located on the short wall at the rear and has a massive lintel supported by a relieving arch, along with rebates and holes for drawbars and a horizontally-hung door. Inside, there are old wooden lintels and a similar but later door at the opposite end. The left return features a blocked original upper door with a chamfered surround, as well as a later door and an external stone staircase on the same side. The interior retains original beams on the ground floor. Attached to the left side of the bastle is the 18th-century store and granary, which has a door with alternating jambs and a half-slatted window.
