Description
Low Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century, with later additions and alterations. It is constructed of rendered rubble sitting on a boulder plinth and features a Welsh slate roof. The roof has three diagonally-set stacks at the mid-chimney and a tapered cylindrical stack at the end chimney, all made of slobbered rubble. The building is two storeys high and has four bays, with a stair projection and an outshut at the rear.
The entrance has a plank inner door set in a gabled porch that includes side benches. To the right of the porch, there is a single window, while to the left, there are two windows, and above, there are three more, all of which are casements with glazing bars. The roof also includes three roof lights, and there are some two-light chamfered mullioned windows at the rear.
Inside, the sitting room features some original chamfered beams supported by corbels, along with a 17th-century bracketed fireplace that has a corniced lintel and a bressumer beam. The kitchen retains original stop-chamfered beams and joists, and it includes the remains of a beehive bread oven within the inglenook fireplace.
