Calves' house and cartshed at Byes Farm

The calves' house and cartshed date from the 18th century, with alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. They are constructed of random rubble stone and cob, with a timber-framed front to the calves' house. The roofs are covered in metal corrugated sheeting.

These agricultural buildings are arranged around two yards. The calves' house and cartshed, to the south, form three sides of a small yard. The calves' house has an L-shaped footprint and the cartshed is rectangular, with the cartshed extended by one bay to the north.

The calves' house is a low, single-storey structure, with a weatherboarded timber-framed front where some timbers have been replaced. It has a series of low wooden doors with wooden latches of varying dates. The rear elevations are stone rubble and cob, with partial rebuilding at the north end in concrete blocks. The cartshed is a high building with a pitched roof, featuring a wide cart entrance at the north end with a boarded gable. The west and east elevations are plain, revealing vertical joints indicative of the one-bay addition. An infilled window with a stone lintel is set into the south gable wall.

Inside the calves' house, stalls are divided by simple wooden partitions. The roof is supported by pegged principal tie-beam trusses with applied collars, a single row of purlins and a ridgepiece. Within the cartshed, a large axial timber beam with joist slots suggests a possible former upper floor at that end of the building. A 19th-century roof uses light principal rafters springing directly from the wall plate, reinforced with low collars, three rows of slender purlins and a double ridge piece.
