Description
Lower Inchdrewer is a mid-18th century, two-storey house with an irregular four-bay layout, oriented east to west. The entrance is off-centre on the west elevation, accessed through a later timber gabled and part-glazed porch. The west front is constructed of coursed rubble, while the other elevations are harled, featuring tooled ashlar dressings and margins.
On the west elevation, there are four ground floor windows, one of which lights the stairwell, and three first floor windows. The north and south return gables each have one ground floor and one first floor window. The ashlar angle margins rest on projecting shaped ashlar pads and terminate at the wallhead with shallow moulded capitals, likely reflecting the shape of a former wallhead cornice, which has now been replaced with poor quality brickwork. The windows have four-pane glazing in timber sash and case frames, with some windows blinded. The house features paired ridge stacks with shaped and moulded cornices, and a later wallhead stack at the north gable serving a later kitchen cooker. The roof is slightly bellcast with slate, featuring replacement concrete and pottery ridge tiles, and includes cast-iron rooflights.
Inside, the original layout remains largely intact, comprising three ground floor and three first floor rooms (one of which is divided as a bathroom) along with a stairwell. On both floors, the rooms in the outer bays are linked by a passage against the west elevation, providing access to the staircase and a small middle room that fills the central portion of the house. The interior features simple moulded ceiling cornices, original raised and fielded six-panelled doors to all rooms (with the kitchen door masked by later flush boarding), and mural cupboards closed by three-panel doors, also raised and fielded. Similar narrow panelled window shutters are present throughout.
