Description
Low Dyke is a farmhouse dating from the late 18th century. It is constructed of coursed red sandstone rubble, featuring a string course and V-jointed quoins, and is topped with a graduated greenslate roof that has banded red sandstone chimney stacks. The building has two storeys and three bays. The entrance consists of a panelled door with an overlight set in a raised stone surround. Sash windows with glazing bars are also present, each set in raised stone surrounds. On the right return wall, there is a round-headed window located under gable pigeon holes. Additionally, there is a 19th-century rear outshut.
