Description
Low Bowkerstead and barn is a house and barn dating from the late 17th century or 18th century. The house is constructed of roughcast stone with a slate roof, while the barn features exposed stone. The building stands two storeys high and has three bays, with the third bay gabled. The windows have small-paned fixed glazing with opening lights, and the window in the third bay on the first floor has a pivoted upper half. The entrance is marked by a timber porch. The left side of the building has a dripstone over the ground floor window, and the right side features a bowed wall, along with a straight joint and a cross-axial stack. The adjoining barn on the right shows signs of a blocked central entrance, with an entrance to the left. At the rear, there is a gabled bay with an outshut under a cat slide roof to the right, and a stack in the roof slope. The barn includes pivoted barn doors and tie beam trusses. The interior has not been inspected.
