Description
Lowstreet House is a farmhouse built in the late 18th century. It features roughcast walls with an eaves cornice and V-jointed quoins. The roof is made of graduated greenslate and includes kneelers, along with ashlar chimney stacks. The building is two storeys high, with three bays and a lower right-angled extension that forms an L-shape. The entrance has a 20th-century door set in a dentilled pedimented Tuscan doorcase, which is decorated with vase and scrollwork in the pediment. The windows are sash style with glazing bars; the ground-floor windows are double, while the window above the door does not have bars, all framed in painted stone surrounds. The left return wall and the extension also feature sash windows, with the ground-floor window of the extension being a 20th-century addition in an enlarged opening.
