Description
Cowling Farmhouse is an 18th-century farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It is built from watershot coursed rubble with quoins and features a slate roof with gable chimneys made of brick. The building has a double pile, 2-bay plan and stands two storeys high. The front door is offset to the left and is made of boarded wood with jamb stones and a straight lintel. On each side of the door at ground floor level, there is a stone-framed 2-light sliding sash window with glazing bars. On the first floor, there are two 3-light casements with straight stone sills and heads. The right side of the building has one very small window at ground floor level and another at attic level, while the left side has a ground floor casement and a 2-light attic window, although one light of this window is blocked.
