Description

This multi-functional farm building, located at the southeast corner of the farmyard at Long Rigg Farm, was built in 1903 for Lord Ree of Gatehouse. Constructed from random granite rubble with quoins and some red sandstone dressings, it features a graduated slate roof and has a long rectangular plan consisting of 5½ bays. The building is single storey and includes five square-headed doorways with sandstone lintels; the first doorway has a flush board door, the second a recessed board door, and the remaining three have stable doors. A corniced single flue chimney is situated on the ridge at the junction of the cool store and wash house, while a lean-to kennel is attached to the right gable. The rear wall contains five segmental-headed windows with three-pane glazing above wooden ventilators. Inside, there is stone slab shelving in the cool store, a washing boiler in the wash house, and feeding troughs and racks in the loose boxes. This building, along with the barn, shippon, stable block, pigsties, manure shed, and boundary wall, contributes to a complete model farm.
