Lower Thornseat Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from 1721, as indicated by the inscribed door lintel. It is constructed from coursed, squared gritstone and features a stone slate roof. The building has a two-room plan with a partial outshut that extends into a continuous outshut. It stands two storeys high and has three first-floor windows. The windows are double-chamfered mullion types, and the farmhouse is characterized by large quoins. The doorway, located to the left of centre, has quoin reveals and a deep chamfered lintel. There is a four-light window on each side of the door, with a dripmould raised over the door lintel. On the first floor, there are two three-light windows and a single light above the door. The farmhouse features moulded kneelers and gable copings, as well as corniced ashlar stacks at each gable and in the centre. The left return of the building has a four-light mullion window on the ground floor and a similar blocked window with a dripstone on the first floor.
