Description
Low Farmhouse is an early 18th-century farmhouse that has been extended and altered over time, with further raising and modernization in the 20th century. It features a cruck frame encased in coursed limestone rubble, topped with a pantile roof and brick stacks. The original layout was a 3-cell cross-passage plan, which has been extended into an outbuilding on the left. The building has a two-storey, five-bay front, with a single-storey outbuilding to the left. There is a boarded door at the center and a 20th-century stable door leading to the outbuilding. Throughout the farmhouse, there are 20th-century small-pane casements with renewed lintels and stone sills. The stacks are located at the center left and right.
Inside, on the ground floor, the room to the left of the cross passage features a fireplace with a heck and bressummer. In the end room to the right, there is a stone fireplace with a two-centre arched lintel and a moulded cornice shelf above. A plank and muntin partition creates a passage to the rear of the two center rooms. On the first floor, substantial portions of two pairs of raised crucks with collars are visible below the ceilings of the two rooms to the right.
