Cowhouse About 50 Metres South-East Of Trenant Farmhouse

The building is a former house, now used as a cowhouse, located about 50 metres south-east of Trenant Farmhouse. It dates from the early 17th century and has been altered in the mid-19th and 20th centuries. The structure is timber-framed with wattle-and-daub infill set on a rubble plinth, and it has a stone slate roof that has been patched with corrugated iron.

The cowhouse consists of three bays arranged east to west, with the eastern bay made of rubble and two timber-framed bays to the west. There is a stack to the east of the framing, accompanied by a spiral staircase on the north side. The north front features one storey with an attic that is lit by a raked top dormer. The rubble bay on the left includes a 2-light casement on the right side, which lights the staircase. The entrance is located off-centre to the left within the two framed bays, flanked by two 2-light casements.

The framing consists of two square panels high, and the west gable truss includes two queen posts supporting the collar, with V-struts in the apex. Evidence in this gable suggests that the building originally extended further in that direction. Inside, there is a timber-framed partition between the two framed bays, featuring two segmental-headed doors.
