Description
The pigsties and henhouse located to the northeast of Wood House Farmhouse date from the second quarter of the 19th century. They are constructed from rubble with roughly-tooled quoins and dressings, topped with a synthetic blue slate roof. The yard-facing side features two pigsties, each with square-headed openings and slit vents positioned above square eaves bands, and has coped gables. There are small front yards enclosed by flat-coped walls. The left side of the building has an L-plan stone stair leading to a boarded door of the henhouse, which also has slit vents at the rear. Inside the henhouse, there are two tiers of wall nesting boxes separated by brick partitions.
