Description

This building is a cowshed and stable located 20 meters south-west of Woofferton Court Farmhouse, dating from the mid to late 18th century. It is constructed of red brick set on a high coursed rubble stone plinth, topped with a plain-tile roof. The structure is a continuous range that includes an original four-bay granary above the cowshed, with a later addition of two bays for stables that also has a loft above.

The exterior features a single storey with the granary and hay-loft above. There is a continuous brick string course at the loft-floor level, with a middle course of cogged bricks. On the south-west wall, the cowshed range has two window openings and a single window opening flanking a two-leaf boarded door set in an oak door frame. The stable range has a single two-leaf boarded door also in an oak door frame. The south-east gable end has a bricked-up ground-floor doorway and a loft-level pitching hole. The north-west gable end features ashlar treads on brick steps leading to a boarded granary door in a chamfered oak door frame, which has a top light above it. The rear (north-east) side has five casements with brick segmental arches and a single stable door with a 19th-century brick segmental arch.

Inside, there are five twin raking-strut trusses that support a double notched-purlin roof with a plank ridge. The beams are chamfered with run-out stops. The cowshed is equipped with feeding racks and tethering posts, while the stable contains stalls.
