Lower Lovelinch Farmhouse

Lower Lovelinch Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates back to the 16th century, was enlarged in 1605, and is reputed to have been reroofed in 1690. The building is rendered over random rubble with limestone dressings, features coped verges, and has a brick stack on the left gable end as well as an external stack on the rear elevation. It is likely that the farmhouse was originally an open hall house, which was ceiled when the porch, dated 1605, was added. There is a late 17th-century addition to the left of the main structure.

The farmhouse is two storeys high, with three-light ovolo moulded stone mullioned windows on the first floor flanking the porch. Below, there is a four-light window with a single light opening under a two-light hood mould set to the right of the porch. The four-light mullions appear to have been lengthened compared to the other mullions. The centrally placed two-storey porch has a coped, gabled slate roof with a finial, a two-light mullion under a hood mould, a string course, and a moulded four-centred arch opening with moulded jambs. Below the arch is an inscription that reads W.R. (William Richards) - 0.DHI. 1605. The inner door frame is moulded with a flattened head, leading to a studded ledge and plank door from the 17th century.

To the left of the main house is a single bay addition that has its own roof, hipped to the left, with extensions at the rear, including an originally extended stair turret. Inside, entry is into a large lobby formed by moving a partition to the right, which has partially blocked a window on the facade. There is a blocked cross passage door and a winder stair to the left. The room to the right contains remains of plaster overmantle in the entrance angle, with plasterwork over the mantel and the winder stair to the left of the fireplace. The bedroom above features a plaster overmantle with a coat of arms that retains some residual colour, trimmed at the top.
