Description
South Bowood Dairy Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse dating from the mid-17th century, with a date of 1654 marked on a stone fireplace inside. The building features rubble-stone walls and a thatched roof with stone gable copings. There are brick stacks at both the left and right gables. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has approximately three windows, which are four-light stone mullions with hollow chamfers, fitted with iron casements and lead lights. A continuous label runs above the windows and returns at the ends. The front door, located at the center, is a two-leaf, flush-panelled door from the 19th century. A late 19th-century porch has low stone walls and wooden post construction that supports a gabled thatch roof. There is a small round-headed window in the right gable wall, which previously lit a stone spiral staircase. A sundial with a stone face, dated 1665, is set into the front wall. Inside, there is a wooden spiral staircase in the left-hand gable and a dated stone fireplace in the first-floor room, featuring moulded jambs and a depressed-arch head.
