Description
The cow house with pigeon house at Brook House Farm is an early 18th-century building, dating from before 1746, with later alterations. It is constructed of reddish brick and features a plain-tile roof, forming a T-shape in plan.
The exterior of the cow house is single-storey and includes a row of round-arched openings with moulded brick surrounds, some of which are blocked. There is a stepped and cogged eaves band, and a raised brick gable at the right end. The right gable end has pigeon openings and ledges. The pigeon house at the rear has a semi-circular recess in the gable end, which also contains openings and landing ledges.
Inside, the cow house features a queen-strut collar-and-tie-beam rafter roof, while the pigeon house has a roof supported by a tie-beam truss with angle braces. The cow house is adjacent to a threshing barn on the left, and the surrounding farm buildings include stables, a cart shed, and pigsties. The group is completed by Brook House Farmhouse.
