Low Clanyard

Low Clanyard is a late 18th century, two-storey, four-bay farmhouse with an L-plan layout at the rear, which includes a single-storey wing. The building is constructed of painted rubble.

On the north elevation, there is a later gabled bay that is advanced to the left of centre, featuring a modern door to the left on the east return and windows on both floors to the west. The elevation has painted brick margins and quoins, with regularly spaced windows in the remaining bays.

The east elevation has a gabled section to the right, which includes a blocked window at the centre of the ground floor. To the left, there is a single-storey wing with a window to the right and an advanced section to the left that has a catslide roof.

On the south elevation, a piended stair block is slightly advanced to the right of centre, with a window on the first floor. The roof pitch sweeps low to the left of the stair block. There is a wing adjoined to the right, featuring two enlarged windows on the west return, along with painted brick lean-to sheds attached to the south gable.

The west elevation is gabled and blank. The glazing is mainly modern, but there are sash and case windows at the ground floor in two bays on the right of the north elevation, with a 12-pane window in the bay to the right of centre and a 9-pane window in the outer right bay. The building has painted coped skews and painted rubble stacks, including gablehead stacks on the east and west, a ridge stack that is off-centre to the west, and a tall wallhead stack to the right on the south elevation, with the wing below it. The roof is covered with grey slates on the north and east pitches and purple slates on the south and west pitches, with a rooflight on the left of the south pitch and several octagonal cans. The modern tile ridging completes the roof.

In the garden, there is a red sandstone ashlar baluster, which may have once supported a sundial.
