Description

Low Nun House is a farmhouse built in the later 19th century, which incorporates some earlier materials. It features a construction of slobbered rubble with some quoins and has a graduated slate roof. The building has a cruciform plan, consisting of a two-unit main range oriented on a north-south axis, with a porch on the west side and a porch-wing on the east side, along with a lean-to outbuilding at the south end.

The house is two storeys high and has three windows. The gabled porch, which is offset to the right of center, includes a doorway on the south side and a 17th-century style round-headed window on the front wall. This window has leaded glazing, a stepped surround, and medallions in the spandrels, as well as a stone slate hoodmould. The roof of the porch features oversailing eaves and verges supported by wooden brackets. To the left of the porch is a square two-light stair-window, and each floor has two square two-light windows, all of which are small-paned with Gothick glazing bars. There are gable chimneys, and a full-height lean-to is located at the south end. The rear wing also has a doorway and a round-headed window similar to those found in the front porch. The interior has not been inspected.
