Description

Lower Terhill Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates back to the 16th century, with enlargements made in the 17th century and a Victorian addition in the mid-19th century. The building is rendered over cob and random rubble, topped with slate roofs. It features bargeboarding on the independently roofed Victorian addition and has a large external stack on the north front, along with a brick stack at the west gable end of the original block and another at the south gable end of the 17th-century addition. The farmhouse has an "L"-plan layout, consisting of three cells and a cross passage, with the 17th-century addition to the southeast and the Victorian addition to the west.

The entrance is now located on the east front, where the building rises two storeys and has two bays. It features 19th-century casements, with a three-light window above the doorway to the right. The left-hand side of the façade breaks forward, showcasing a four-light dormer above and a similar window below, which has been altered in the late 20th century. To the left of the cross passage, the interior includes chamfered beams with run-out stops, while to the right, there is a nine-panel moulded compartment ceiling. The southeast room, located to the left of the 20th-century entrance, has a moulded oval bayleaf ceiling at its center, with decorative plasterwork strips connecting it to an outer rectangular frame. An incomplete plaster frieze features floral ornamentation, and there is a plaster overmantel displaying an unidentified coat of arms and supporters, although this is obscured by late 20th-century paint.

Stairs that once stood to the left of the fireplace are now blocked, but they provided access to the main bedroom above, which has been divided and features a coved ceiling, a Tudor rose, and a plaster overmantel depicting an unidentified biblical scene. The doorhead has a four-centred arch. The roof has not been inspected, but it is possible that the building was originally an open hall house. Historically, this farmhouse served as the manor house of East Bagborough.
