Description

The barn at Lower House Farm is a Grade II listed building constructed from random local sandstone rubble and topped with corrugated sheet roofs. The main facade features a blocked entrance where the waggon doors once were, now containing late 19th century or early 20th century plain doors made of vertical boarding with an elliptical head. To the left, there are two enlarged openings fitted with modern 3 over 6 pane windows, and to the right, a similar 3 over 3 pane window. The lean-to on the right has an older plank door, possibly from the 18th century.

The gable of the barn displays a 17th century 4-light unglazed 'window' with diamond-set oak mullions, although one mullion is missing, and above this is a slit vent. The left gable is completely obscured by a later granary addition. Below, there is an open cart shed with the front of the granary now covered in modern sheeting. The gable end features a stone staircase leading up to the granary door, which is a plank door with a timber hood above it. The rear wall is blind.

Inside, the barn has a principal rafter roof supported by three tiers of purlins, while the lean-to has a staggered purlin roof with secondary rafters, all of which are intact. The interior of the granary has not been seen.
