Cowl Barn Farmhouse

The property is a farmhouse, dating to the 17th century, with extensions added in the mid to late 19th century. It is constructed of timber framing with painted brick infill panels, and has a plain tiled roof. A rendered extension provides two rooms, with an inner entrance to the south room, and a larger, later cross-wing extension also to the south. The north stack has been rebuilt. The farmhouse is two storeys high and features 20th-century 3-light casement windows to the first floor, and a 4-light casement on the ground floor. A ledged door is present; a gabled extension obscures the north room. Inside, there is a cellar beneath the later cross-wing. A “coffin hole” is visible in the ceiling just inside the entrance door. The C17 part of the house contains a longitudinal timber-framed spine partition to much of the first floor. The ground and first floor beams feature arbitrarily placed stop-chamfers with run-out stops. A concealed "hop treading" hole passes through the first floor in the north-west first-floor room.
