Woodhow Farmhouse With Attached Byres, Area Walls And Pump

Woodhow Farmhouse is a 18th-century farmhouse with an adjoining byre range and a pump located at the southeast angle of the area wall. The house is dated 1757, as indicated on the porch head, and features the initials W. & D.N. The lead pump head is dated 1826 and bears the initials S. & R.E. The farmhouse has undergone later additions and alterations. It is constructed of pebble-dashed rubble, while the byres are made of slobbered, coursed rubble with quoins. The building has graduated slate roofs and rendered end chimneys.

The two-storey farmhouse has three bays, with a central plank door in a porch that has monolithic stone cheeks and a moulded head. To the left of the door is a casement window, and to the right is a single sash window, with two additional windows located above, all set in stone surrounds. The three-bay byre range features three plank doors and two small fixed windows, along with two loft accesses above. In front of the house, there is a coursed rubble area wall approximately 2.5 meters high, and the lead pump, which is now disconnected, is housed in a stone structure made of monolithic slabs with a shaped head.
