Description

Lower Ton is a farmhouse constructed from rubble stone with slate roofs, featuring a two-storey and attic L-plan layout. The southwest range has been reduced in the early 20th century, with a lean-to roof replacing the original gabled roof. A brick stack remains at the north end. The north-south range includes a northeast wing, with the entrance located at the angle on the east side of the main range. The entry consists of a plank door set in a recessed ogee-moulded oak frame, topped with a pent slate roof supported by massive timber brackets.

To the left of the entrance are ovolo-moulded timber-mullion windows with hoodmoulds, featuring a four-light window below and a three-light window above. Above these windows is a shallow-pitched roof that has replaced the original gable and loft. The rebuilt gable, made of red brick, is positioned between the windows and the door. The south end has a 20th-century ground floor window with a hoodmould and a blocked door to the right.

The wing has a two-window south front, with a small pair of casement windows on each floor to the left, and a larger pair of 20th-century tilting lights on the first floor to the right. The ground floor on the right features a 20th-century metal window in a former doorway. The east end gable has cement coping, a two-light timber mullion attic window, and a pair of four-pane windows at ground level. The rear north wall of the wing has a boarded-over stair window to the right above a blocked door.

The main range has a narrow 20th-century window on each floor in the short east section to the right of the wing. The north gable end features an external chimney breast with a small two-light timber window on the first floor to the right. Projecting stones at the northwest corner suggest that the building may have extended further or was originally intended to do so. The west side of the main range has a three-window range, mostly consisting of 20th-century windows, with hoodmoulds above the window and door in the right bay and a moulded string course over the ground floor.

The interior is not available for inspection but is said to contain heavy beams.
