Description

Low House is a house dated 1626, likely built for Martin Knowles, with probable 19th-century additions and alterations. The structure is made of coursed rubble and features a graduated stone slate roof. It has two storeys and two bays, with an additional bay on the left. The building has quoins and a 20th-century board door located far right within a chamfered surround. Above the door is a stone plaque with a recessed panel and raised lettering that reads "1626 MK". The original part of the house has flat-faced mullion windows, with three lights to the left of the door and two lights on the first floor. There is also a square window with a 20th-century frame on the far left of the ground floor. The added bay features a 20th-century glazed door with a plain lintel and a square window with a 20th-century frame above. A ridge stack is situated between the original and added bay, with another stack to the left of the centre of the original range. The right return has four rows of pigeon holes in the gable. The interior was not inspected during the resurvey.
