Description

This cowhouse, attached at right angles to the east end of No. 181, dates from the 17th century and was re-modelled in the mid-19th century. It is timber framed, but largely rebuilt in uncoursed sandstone rubble with some red brick patching, and features a plain tiled roof. The structure has two levels and currently consists of three structural bays, although it likely originally had two bays, with the timber framed south gable end moved out during the 19th-century rebuilding. On the east side, there are two flat-headed entrances inserted at ground level, two eaves hatches, and a 20th-century ground floor window to the right. The wall is exposed, showing a post that marks the bay division immediately to the left of the right-hand entrance, with another exposed on the west side.
