Description
The cowhouses and former malt-house, now a store, are located approximately 5 metres to the north-east of Chapel Lawn Farmhouse. Likely built in the early to mid-19th century, the structures were partly rebuilt after a collapse in 1910. The range consists of two heights, with a two-storey and a three-storey former malt house on the right, constructed of coursed and squared limestone and partly rebuilt in red brick. The cowhouses are timber framed with a weather boarded loft, a brick nogged ground floor, and a coursed limestone rubble plinth and end wall, topped with a slate roof.
The malt-house features a three-storey block on the right, with three segmental-headed two-light windows on each floor, some of which are boarded over or blocked. There are external stone steps leading to a central first-floor segmental-headed boarded door, and a first-floor segmental-headed two-light casement in the rebuilt section to the left, with two large boarded doors beneath. The lower part on the left has a boarded first-floor window and a boarded loft door to the right, along with a ground floor boarded window on the left, a segmental-headed boarded door on the right, and a blocked central opening.
The cowhouse includes two boarded loft doors and three ground floor boarded doors, with a blocked doorway between the first and second windows from the left. Inside, the cowhouse features tie-beam and raking queen strut trusses. Together with the other farm buildings and the farmhouse, this range forms an important group in the centre of the village.
