Barn and Cowhouse, Banks Fee Farm

The barn and cowhouse at Banks Fee Farm date from the late 18th century to early 19th century. They are constructed of coursed squared and dressed limestone, with a thin stone slate roof on the cowhouse and a concrete tile roof on the barn. The barn is rectangular and features a central projecting porch, with the cowhouse extending from the left gable end. The barn's porch has a gabled projection with a plank door set within a double-width segmental-headed opening, and there is a similar opening on the opposite side. Slit vents with trefoil tops and flat gable-end coping are also present.

At the rear, the single-storey cowhouse has stone steps leading up to a pigeon loft in the gable end. There are eleven original plank doors with strap hinges facing the yard. Inside the barn, there are three bays with what may be the original queen post roof and brick-lined walls, along with two niches in the porch wall and a flag threshing floor. The cowhouse interior contains eleven two-cow stalls with feeding troughs made of moulded brickwork, arranged along a passage at the back wall behind the troughs. Together, the barn and cowhouse form two sides of a square yard, which is part of a larger courtyard group that includes a store, stable, and pigsty block. A raised brick standing runs along the outside walls within the yard, making this an unusually well-preserved courtyard group.
