Cow House Farmhouse

Cow House Farmhouse is a house that has been altered to form two dwellings, although only one is currently occupied. It dates from the mid to late 17th century, with some alterations made in the 19th century. The building is constructed of hammer-dressed stone and features a stone slate roof. It is two storeys high and has a three-cell through-passage plan that is double-depth, with a continuous single outshut at the rear.

The first two cells have double-chamfered mullioned windows with a drip mould over the ground-floor windows. The first cell contains a four-light window on each floor, although both lack two of their mullions. There is also a 19th-century doorway with monolithic jambs. The second cell, which serves as the main living area, has a four-light window with a lowered sill, a three-light window above it, and a two-light fire-window with a smaller window above, all missing some mullions. Its doorway features a square head and a chamfered surround. The third cell has been re-fenestrated in the mid-19th century and includes a three-light window with two two-light windows above, both with flat-faced mullions. The building has coped gables with kneelers and a large external stack with offsets on the left gable, one on the ridge of the right gable, and two other ridge stacks.

At the rear, the roof has a low sweep and features double-chamfered mullioned windows, including a single light, two two-light windows, a chamfered doorway to the through passage, a blocked single light, a four-light window, and a two-light window, along with a three-light window.

Inside, the third cell has stop-chamfered spine beams that extend through the dividing wall of the through-passage, suggesting that it may have originally been open. There is also a post on a padstone supporting the outshut, which features a timbered arcade with wall ties.
