Cockingford Farmhouse including shippon at south-west end

Cockingford Farmhouse, which includes a shippon at the south-west end, is a farmhouse that was formerly a mill and mill house. It likely dates from the late 17th century or 18th century and has had some additions. The building is constructed of granite rubble and features a slated roof. There is a rendered chimneystack on the left-hand gable and a granite ashlar stack on the ridge, which is off-centre to the left. The farmhouse has a single-depth plan and is two storeys high, with single-storey lean-tos at both the front and rear. The facade has three windows, which are 20th-century wood casements. On the ground floor, there are two old plank doors: one is located between the two windows, and the other is at the right-hand end. At the extreme right-hand end, there is a pent-roofed projection.

At the left-hand end, slightly set back, is the shippon with a loft above. The shippon features three doorways on the ground floor, with the left-hand two having granite slabs as lintels. The right-hand doorway is wider and has a shallow segmental arch with well-cut voussoirs. In the centre of the upper storey, there is an old plank loft door with wrought-iron strap-hinges. Attached to the right-hand gable wall is an iron water-wheel with wooden spokes and slats, which is inscribed with "WILLCOCKS & SON, BUCKFASTLEIGH." The sluice is still present, along with a granite rubble retaining wall and part of the leat that runs north-east across the hillside.

The farmhouse has group value with Cockingford Bridge and Cockingford Cottage, which are also listed in the parish of Buckland-in-the-Moor.
