Description
Lower Farmhouse is a 17th-century house built from rubblestone, featuring painted stone door and window dressings. It has a hipped old tile roof and is arranged in an L-shaped plan with a southeast wing at the rear that includes a modern brick infill bay with a slated roof. The north front has a central door set within a heavy stone architrave, complete with a key block, stone cornice, and a broken segmental pediment. Above the door is an oval window framed in stone with quadrant blocks. The outer bays contain moulded stone mullioned and transomed cross casements, with 19th-century lights. There is a right-hand stack, while other elevations feature casement windows. The southeast wing's south elevation is rendered and includes a stack. Inside, the right-hand ground floor room has a chamfered and stopped spine beam, a cambered fireplace lintel, and a console bracket supporting the spine beam, along with timber-framed crosswalls.
