Description
Borwicks Aynsome is a farmhouse with attached outbuildings, dating from the late 17th century or 18th century. It is constructed of roughcast stone and has a slate roof. The building is two storeys high and consists of five bays, with a long outbuilding to the north, where the end bay is now part of the house. The farmhouse features a moulded gutter and windows with two lights, flat mullions, and hollow-chamfered openings. There is a central entrance with a half-glazed door.
The windows at the south end of the outbuilding have casements, while the north end, likely a later addition, has two casement windows and an attached mounting block. The farmhouse has gable-end stacks, and the rear wing includes an attached barn and a cat-slide outshut to the north. The south return of the rear wing has two windows with three lights, while the others have casements. There is a cross-axial stack and another stack in the roof slope.
The barn to the east features barn doors and a small entrance to the cow house. The outbuilding to the north has a barn entrance, an entrance and window to the south, and two entrances for the cow house, along with a pitching hole at the north end.
