Description
The Cow House, located approximately 25 metres to the north-west of Acorn Cottage, was built around 1818. It is constructed from coursed rubble with gault and grey brick details around the windows, topped with an old tile roof. The building is designed in a Gothic style and consists of one storey. It features coped battlemented parapeted gable ends and two straight-sided arched windows with crude brick tracery on either side of a central blocked entrance that has a lintel and an open straight-sided arched tympanum. There is an inserted boarded door to the right, which partially obscures the right-hand window. The end elevations have large straight-sided arched blind windows with Y-traceried brick panels. A stone plaque on the south side is inscribed with "RANDZ de VACHE." This Cow House is part of a series of unusual outbuildings built on the Tong Estate by George Durant the younger. Acorn Cottage, located to the south, is also dated 1818.
