Description
Lower Willand Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th century, which has been extensively altered in the late 20th century. It is constructed of slobbered rubble, with the rear and gable ends exposed, and features a concrete tile roof with stone stacks at the gable ends. The building has a plan consisting of three cells and a cross passage, with a single-storey lean-to at the rear and a single-storey addition at the left end of the facade. There are two gabled dormers rising from the eaves, which contain 20th-century casements. On the ground floor, there are three-light casements flanking a chamfered arch head doorcase with a plank door, and the lean-to addition on the left has a 20th-century window in the re-entrant angle.
Inside, there is a square-headed plank and muntin screen to the right of the cross passage. The hall and inner room have been combined, with the gable end rebuilt. Two chamfered beams with step and run-out stops remain, along with a chamfered lintel above the hall stack. The winder stairs against the rear wall have been rebuilt. Additionally, there are three pairs of jointed cruck trusses, with the blade of another jointed cruck set against the left gable end wall. The left end bay has also been rebuilt at some point.
