Description
These cowsheds, located approximately 13 metres east of Lowna Farmhouse, date back to around 1860 and were originally built as a tanning shed for Thomas Baxter. The structure is made of squared limestone with tooled quoins, featuring a red brick interior wall constructed in English garden wall bond. The roofs are a mix of pantile and corrugated asbestos.
The building consists of three parallel ranges with five bays, which reduce to two three-bay ranges beyond the interior wall. The north front is single-storey with three bays, featuring a wide opening beneath a long timber lintel in the centre bay, while the flanking bays are obscured by attached buildings. The roofs are parallel and pitched. On the east side, there are four small-paned windows. Inside, the roof of each range is supported by fine king-post trusses on moulded cast-iron columns.
