Lower Farmhouse

Lower Farmhouse is a house dating from the 17th century, with extensions added in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The front wall shows several changes and is primarily constructed of large malmstone square rubble, featuring larger stone quoins in one area and later brick quoins in another. Some sections of the wall are made of brickwork in Monk bond, with cambered brick arches and a plinth band. The south wall is built of brickwork in Flemish bond, with the older section having blue headers, while other walls are roughcast and include a first-floor band in parts. The roof is hipped and tiled, with several levels. The west front elevation is nearly symmetrical, consisting of two storeys with three widely spaced windows. The windows are sashes in exposed frames, with three on the ground floor. A Victorian gabled porch features an oval arch with a stone key, a plain doorframe, and a half-glazed door. The south end has a sash window above a French door, while the other windows are casements.
