Description
Low Lanshaw Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1726, with origins from the 17th century and alterations from the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of slobbered rubble with stone dressings and has a stone slate roof. The building features a central staircase plan and is two storeys high with three bays.
The central entrance is located in an early 18th-century gabled porch that has a moulded surround and a lintel with an imitation keystone inscribed with the date and initials OF. The gable has springers, moulded coping, and a ball finial on a moulded base. The entrance has a 17th-century moulded surround and a six-panel door, with the upper four panels being glazed. The windows are from the 19th century, featuring plain surrounds and projecting sills, with 20th-century casements—two on the ground floor and three on the upper floor. The eaves are shaped with modillions, and there are gable-end ridge stacks.
On the rear left-hand return of the projecting wing, there is an upper floor panel inscribed: "IAMES.AR MITSTEADE SET MEHER," which translates to "James Armitsteade set me here 1615." This panel has a stepped hoodmould that extends over a former three-light mullioned window, which is now blocked.
