Description

The former barn and cowhouse, located approximately 15 metres to the north-east of White House Farmhouse, is a building from the late 17th century with 19th-century alterations. Originally a barn with a loft, it is now used as a cowhouse with a loft. The structure features a weatherboarded timber frame, coursed limestone rubble, and a corrugated iron roof, which includes 19th-century gabled eaves loft dormers on the east side. The building has four framed bays to the north and a later addition to the south, standing at one and one-and-a-half storeys.

On the west front, the barn has three boarded loft doors and two ground floor boarded doors, one of which is a two-leaf door to the left. The 19th-century cowhouse to the right has a segmental-headed two-leaf boarded door at the front and another two-leaf boarded door in the right-hand gable end. Inside, there is a partially inserted 19th-century floor in the barn.
