Barn and cow house. Probably late C16 with alterations and additions dated 1863. Red brick with grey sandstone ashlar quoins and dressings; plain tile roof. Barn and attached cow houses aligned approximately east-west. One storey and loft. C19 dentil brick eaves cornice, and dentil brick verge to C19 addition. South side: 4 loft openings, first and third from right with chamfered reveals. Ground-floor chamfered Tudor-arched stone doorway to right with partly blocked 2-light stone chamfered-mullioned window to left; pair of boarded barn doors off- centre to left with segmental-headed stable door to right and slatted window to left. C19 addition to left with 2-light segmental-headed windows flanking boarded door on each floor. Left-hand gable end with datestone inscribed: "VRC/1863". One-storey block adjoining to left with segmental-headed window to right and 2 segmental-headed boarded doors to left. Rear of barn with tall vertical vents to left and 4 tiers of diamond-pattern vents to right. The C16 parts of these buildings were probably formerly associated with the neighbouring Moreton Corbet Castle (q.v.) which was substantially enlarged c.1579. Castle Farmhouse is not included on this list.
