Description

The cowsheds and attached stable, located about 16 metres east of the barn connected to the north of Littleton House, date from the mid to late 18th century and have undergone some alterations. They are built from limestone rubble with stone dressings and feature stone tiled roofs with raised coped verges, while the cowsheds have some double Roman tiles. The single-storey cowsheds consist of seven bays, each with a segmental-headed opening that has a projecting keystone; the entry on the left is blocked. The left side has a small single light in the gable end. Inside the cowsheds, four bays of the roof are visible, showcasing a tie-beam, principal rafters, one row of purlins, and a ridge purlin with a plated yoke.

The stable, attached to the right, is two storeys high and has three windows. The ground floor features two 2-light casements with moulded stone mullions and hood moulds, along with a central stable door. To the right, there is an external stair leading to a keyhole-shaped loading door under the eaves, with a 2-light casement on each side; the right side has a stone ovolo mullion, while the left has a wooden replacement. Inside the stable, there are four bays with heavy chamfered beams, although the roof construction is not visible.
