Description
The cow house, located approximately 12 meters north of Great Weeke Farmhouse, is likely from the late 18th century. It is constructed of granite stone rubble with granite ashlar dressings and features a slate roof, although some sections have been replaced with corrugated iron. The building faces west towards the farmyard and is situated against the lane. It consists of a series of cow stalls with haylofts above. The front is irregular, with stalls accessed through doorways that have low segmental heads made of granite ashlar voussoirs. There is a wide cart entrance slightly right of center, with four doorways to the left and three to the right. To the right of the cart entrance, there is a large hayloft loading hatch, along with additional hatches towards each end of the building. Most doorways contain 19th-century doors with ventilator grilles. The roof is gable-ended, and the rear wall features five small unglazed windows for the cow stalls, each with a ventilator slit above for the hayloft. Inside, the cow house has plain carpentry details, including a roof supported by A-frame trusses with pegged and spiked lap-jointed collars. This cow house is part of a group with several other listed buildings in the hamlet of Great Weeke.
