Lower Cockhill Farmhouse, With Mounting Block 5 Metres West

Lower Cockhill Farmhouse, consisting of two dwellings, incorporates elements from the late 15th/early 16th century and the 18th century. The north section is constructed of cut and squared Doulting stone, while the south section uses Cary stone rubble, some squared. Both sections have asbestos cement slate roofs with coped gables to the north house, and brick chimney stacks.

The north house is two storeys high with three bays, featuring steel casement windows set within what appear to be earlier openings, and a central boarded door with a glazed panel under a timber and tile porch hood. The south house, also two storeys, has four bays with random fenestration. A 18th-century three-light leaded casement window is present in the upper bay one of the south house. The upper bay two features a half-timbered projecting jettied gable, with a 20th-century two-light window; the outer timberwork was restored in 1984. A small area of cob construction is visible within the rear elevation, currently blocked.

The south house’s interior plan is based on three rooms with a cross-entry into the north room. The front door is of 20th-century design, and the original rear door is blocked. Internal features include plain chamfer beams with shallow steps and run-out stops. A replacement staircase is located against the rear wall, and two doorways with cambered arched heads in wooden frames are on the first floor. A central jettied room, possibly a former chapel, originally had wattle and daub infill in the timber frame. Its 4-panelled ceiling has deep, thin moulded beams, a central rose boss, and fleur-de-lys corner details; the panels are timber boarded. Wall paintings, discovered in 1975, featuring a red and blue IHS monogram with a cross and crown surrounded by a floral pattern, were removed for restoration in 1984. Some wattle and daub and plank and muntin partition walling still exists. The roof frame features arch-braced collar trusses developing from raised crucks, with two rows of curved windbraces and significant smoke blackening.

The property underwent extensive restoration in January 1985, however this did not affect the building's Grade II* listing. A stone mounting block, consisting of three steps, is located five metres west of the farmhouse.
