Barn And Cowhouse Approximately 25 Metres To North Of Cartshed At Campsmount Home Farm

This is a barn and cowhouse built in the late 18th century, with alterations made in the 20th century. It was designed by John Carr for the Campsmount estate. The structure is made of harled rubble and has a sheet asbestos roof. The barn is three stories tall and has five bays, while the cowhouse is two stories with five bays, located in a wing on the front left (south side).

The barn features square-headed wooden double doors set beneath an altered segmental arch, along with cruciform vents. The bays on the right have projecting sills to blind windows, which also have cruciform vents beneath flat arches. The first and second floors contain blind windows with slit vents. An eaves band runs along the hipped roof.

The cowhouse has an altered front end and also features an eaves band on its hipped roof. The right return has a central door with an overlight and flat arch, flanked by cruciform vents and casements with projecting sills and flat arches. The first-floor windows are similar to those below, with slit vents in between. The left return has five Diocletian-style first-floor windows, with only bays one and five retaining both mullions. A door has been inserted through the window in bay two.

Attached 20th-century farm buildings are not of special interest. This barn and cowhouse are significant components of the Home Farm group, which is associated with the Campsmount estate, the former home of the Yarborough and Cooke-Yarborough families, demolished in 1959. The structure is part of a larger range for which drawings are preserved in the Yarborough papers.
