Dun Cow Public House And 2 Mounting Blocks At Front At Rear

The Dun Cow Public House, along with two mounting blocks at the front and rear, is a public house and stable that dates from the mid-18th century. The building features painted rough render with pointed ashlar dressings, while the right side has thinly-rendered limestone rubble with brick patching. The roof is covered with French tiles and has 20th-century brick chimneys.

The structure is two storeys high and consists of eight bays. The three leftmost bays contain a central four-panel door set in panelled reveals, framed by a Tuscan doorcase with flat pilasters and a large cornice. Above the door is a painted low-relief panel depicting a cow and 17th-century-style figures. The renewed windows in the flanking bays have flat stone lintels and projecting stone sills, with 20th-century glazing on the ground floor and late 19th-century sashes above, featuring lintels at the eaves. There is a three-light 20th-century window on the ground floor in the fourth bay and a simpler window on the first floor in the fifth bay. The sixth bay has a blocked stable arch with a window inserted, while the lower right end bays feature a boarded door set in a partly-blocked arch and a 20th-century window in a similar arched opening on the first floor. The building has end chimneys on 20th-century external stacks and a ridge chimney to the right of the third bay, with two lower ridges over the right five bays. At the rear, there is a large full-width one-storey outshut that rises to the eaves under a catslide roof.

The mounting blocks are located in front of the eighth bay and beside the rear entrance of the sixth bay. Inside, there is a dogleg stair in the rear outshut with a moulded ramped handrail on column-and-vase balusters. The first floor features one 18th-century cupboard with two fielded panels, along with some doors that have four similar panels.
