Cowshed Laundry And Dairy Range At Easton Farm Park

The cowshed, laundry, and dairy range at Easton Farm Park is a former agricultural building dating from around 1870, originally constructed for the Duke of Hamilton. It is built from red brick and features a pantiled roof with crest tiles. The structure is mainly single storey with an attic. The main range includes a central gabled archway, which has applied timbering and a doorway within the tympanum.

On the left side are the cowsheds, which consist of five bays with altered openings and an end gable facing forward, topped with small gabled ventilating turrets along the roof ridge. The laundry is located on the right side and has three bays, with its end gable also facing forward, featuring applied timbering and the Hamilton arms. All gables are adorned with ornamental bargeboards.

At the extreme right is a single-storey churn room, which is attached to a more ornate single-storey octagonal dairy. The dairy showcases pointed Y-tracery casement windows, some of which are shuttered, and has hoodmoulds above. It features a doorway with glazed double doors and a gabled porch, along with a pointed roof supported by wooden brackets at the eaves and a small octagonal turret at the apex.

The interior of the dairy is particularly notable, with doors that include stained glass featuring the Hamilton monogram and painted lower panels. Most windows are fitted with leaded stained glass, and the walls are covered with glazed tiles, highlighted by a central frieze of coloured tiles and coloured floor tiles. The space also contains a central cooling fountain and original marble tables.
