Description

Lower Winskill is a farmhouse dated 1675, with 19th-century alterations. It is constructed from slobbered rubble with stone dressings and has a stone roof. The building features a central staircase plan and stands two storeys high with three bays. The entrance, located to the right of the centre, has a plain surround made of milled stone on square blocks, and a decorated lintel displaying the date and initials NBCB, with a 20th-century door. There are two double-chamfered two-light windows with ovolo mullions on each storey, although the right-hand ground floor mullion is now missing. A tall two-light stair window has a plain surround with a flat-faced transom and mullion. The left-hand gable end has a ridge stack, and there is a right-hand ridge stack at the junction of the house and an L-shaped bay stable with a loft above. The 19th-century garden front is rendered, also two storeys high with three bays and a central entrance. Inside, there is a dog-leg staircase with stick balusters.
