Lower Ruggin Farmhouse And Outbuilding Adjoining To South

Lower Ruggin Farmhouse is a farmhouse built around 1820-1830, with an enlargement around 1870. It features a rendered facade, with slobbered rubble on the left return and at the rear. The roof has a shallow pitch, is hipped, and covered with slate, with overhanging eaves and a soffit board. Brick stacks rise from the eaves on the right side. The layout likely consists of two cells and a cross passage, with two additional rooms flanking the rear entrance. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has three bays, with 16-pane sash windows, a flat string course band, and a gabled late 19th-century brick porch. There are stepped buttresses and a segmental headed opening. The right return, or north front, is lit only on the ground floor to the right and in both floors of the outshot. The rear elevation features a gable top to a stair light that projects through the eaves at the center, along with a segmental headed opening forming a deep porch, with a 20th-century door and windows.

Adjoining the farmhouse to the south is a barn made of red brick, with a clay tiled roof that has a half hipped west gable end on the facade. It has 2-light trefoil headed stone windows on the first floor, likely from the 19th century, although there is a possibility of medieval origins. The entire structure is only partially visible, and the interiors were not accessible during the survey in March 1985.
