Outbuildings To West And North Of Cowmire Hall

The outbuildings to the west and north of Cowmire Hall are farm buildings arranged around three sides of a courtyard, with Cowmire Hall located at the east end of the south range. The south range and the eastern half of the north range likely date from the early 18th century, while the remainder of the structures were built in the mid to late 19th century. They are constructed of stone rubble and topped with slate roofs.

The south range features a wide through passage on its north elevation, leading to a ramp that provides access to a barge entrance with a pentice. There is a six-light chamfered wooden-mullion window, which is rebated for glazing and has four intermediate bars above the passage. The south elevation includes drip courses, paired doors leading to the passage, and an inserted window with ventilation slots above. The west gable end has an entrance with a pentice, a window, and additional ventilation slots. Inside, there are two tie beam and strut trusses, along with two 19th-century kingpost trusses. The cow house contains some chamfered beams and stop-chamfered joists.

The west range connects to the north and includes a 19th-century bank barn with limestone quoins and a limestone trough at the angle. The west elevation has a pentice on limestone brackets over six cow house entrances, one of which has been converted into a window. There are also some slate partitions and a winnowing door towards the north end. The east elevation features a ramp leading to an entrance with a canopy on limestone brackets, along with another entrance that has been turned into a window and a window to the south; there is a passage through the ramp and an owl hole in the gable end.

The western part of the north range has two large openings with central limestone piers on the south elevation, which may be a later addition. There is an entrance to the granary from the barn ramp, and the granary itself has slate skirting and corn bins. The eastern end of the north range has two entrances and three windows for the stables, a loading door to the western part, and a first-floor entrance accessed by steps to the eastern part, which features a six-light chamfered wooden-mullion window with two remaining intermediate bars to the left. A central straight joint suggests that part of the wall may have been rebuilt. The north elevation has a blocked entrance and small windows, while the east gable end has a small first-floor window. Inside the eastern end, there are remnants of a chimney hood on the first floor and a later fireplace at the gable end.
