Cowlease

Cowlease is a house that likely dates from the late 17th century to early 18th century, with an early 19th-century extension. It features a timber frame with plaster and brick infill, a brick extension, and tiled roofs. The brick stack on the 19th-century section is off-ridge, while the stack at the end of the timber-framed part has a sandstone rubble base and a detached brick shaft. The house consists of two timber-framed bays aligned north-east to south-west, with the 19th-century extension at the south-west end. It has one storey and an attic in the timber-framed section.

The north-west elevation displays two ground-floor 20th-century windows, one with two panes in front of the end stack and another with one pane immediately to its right. There is also a steel two-light mid-20th-century casement window in a flat-topped dormer on the right side of the timber-framed section. The ground floor is partially obscured by a corrugated iron lean-to with an entry on the left side. The timber frame consists of three square panels high from the cill to the wall-plate, and there are V-struts from the collar to the principals in the exposed left gable.
