Description
The Lower Farmhouse is a house dating from the 17th century, which has been altered and features an 18th-century wing at the rear, forming a T-plan. The structure is primarily timber-framed with whitewashed brick infill and a rubble stone plinth. The front of the right-hand bay has been refaced in whitewashed brick, while there is a lean-to projection on the left side. The rear wing is constructed of chequer brick and includes a moulded plinth, a modillion eaves cornice, and a coped gable with a second-floor band course. The roofs are tiled, and there is a central brick chimney with grouped shafts.
The front range consists of one storey and an attic, with four irregular bays. The central bays feature 20th-century paired barred wooden casements on the ground floor and paired leaded casements in gabled dormers. The central lobby entry has a 20th-century door set in a moulded wooden frame with a minimal board hood, while the outer bays are blank. The two-storey range at the rear has two bays, one of which contains an original sash window, with other openings having been altered. There is a lean-to with an entry at the eastern angle of the front range. Inside, the farmhouse has curved wind braces and one room features a stop-chamfered spine beam and joists.
