Red Cow Farmhouse

Red Cow Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse with a rear kitchen wing added in the northwest and a two-storey rear outshut from the 18th century. There is also a single-storey rear lean-to from the 19th century. The building features a timber frame with a roughcast front and a stucco plinth, red brick in Flemish bond at the rear, and tarred brick on the east gable end. It has steep old red tile roofs, with the main range hipped at the east.

The farmhouse is designed with a two-storey, three-unit internal-chimney lobby entry plan facing south. The two-storey rear outshut provides passages on each floor, and the kitchen wing at the northwest is also two storeys. A large internal chimney is located a third of the way from the west end, with an internal stack on the east gable. The kitchen wing features large fireplaces at the north gable end.

The south front is asymmetrical, with four windows on each floor and an entrance between the middle two. The windows are flush-box sashes with six panes and segmental heads on the ground floor. The entrance consists of a six-panel flush-beaded door in a heavy moulded frame, topped with an open triangular hood on shaped brackets.

Inside, there is an added passage that serves the original three front rooms, which also contains the staircase at the east end, presumably replacing an earlier stair that was located at the rear of the main chimney. On the ground floor, the main chimney only serves a fireplace for the middle room, while a northeast corner fireplace was later added in the west room. The beams to the east of the stack are axial, chamfered, and stopped, but the crossbeam in the west room is set closer to the west wall, suggesting that this bay may have been shortened. There are also two plank doors and an 18th-century panelled screen. Attached farm buildings to the north are not of special interest.
