Description
Bowmanstead is a house and shop dating to the 17th and 18th centuries. It is constructed of roughcast stone with slate roofs. The building is arranged over two storeys, originally with six bays, though the fourth to sixth bays are lower. A single-storey bay extends to the left, originally stables, and a further two bays of two storeys are attached to the left of these. Windows to the first three bays on the left are 20th-century casements; the first bay has small-paned fixed glazing and a small fixed window near ground level. The first-floor window of the first bay features a horizontally sliding sash window with glazing bars. Small-paned casements are found in the second and third bays. The fourth, fifth and sixth bays possess sash windows with glazing bars, and the sixth bay lacks a first-floor window. Entrances are situated in the second and fourth bays, the second featuring a timber porch. Two entrances serve the former stables. The right return has small-paned fixed glazing with opening panes. Gable-end stacks are present. The rear elevation includes an outshut and a gabled wing below a flat-topped dormer. The former stables are built of stone rubble and have plank and stable doors. The interior features an upper cruck truss, a slate winding stair, some panelling and decorative features that have been moved from other locations.
