Description

This is a cowshed located immediately west of the farmhouse at Long Ash Farm, likely built in the late 18th century. It features cob walls resting on a flint base, with some parts rebuilt or faced in brick. The building has a hipped thatched roof and consists of one storey with a loft. On the ground floor, there are two door openings that have been filled in with corrugated iron, along with three part-slatted windows. The loft includes two dormers. This structure is included for its group value with the farmhouse.
