West Cowgill Farmhouse

West Cowgill Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dated 1705 on the porch. It has been enlarged and altered over time. The building is constructed of white-painted rubble with quoins and features a slate roof. It has a long single-depth, two-unit plan, with a rear wing on the right-hand end. An early full-height outshut has been added at the rear angle, along with another outshut at the back of this.

The exterior consists of two storeys and two widely spaced windows. In the centre, there is a wide gabled porch with an outer doorway that has a shaped lintel, featuring worn raised lettering "HD 1705" painted in black. Close to the left of the porch on the ground floor is a small former two-light mullioned window that is missing its mullion. Above the left side of the porch roof are traces of a similar former window. The front also includes two late 19th-century mullioned windows on each floor, with three lights on the ground floor and two lights above. These windows have square-cut surrounds and flat-faced flush mullions, with the left window vertically aligned near the corner and the right window on the ground floor slightly offset to the right. The building has gable chimneys. The rear outshut features an old blocked two-light mullioned window, and the west wall of the rear wing has a similar window at the first floor.

Inside, the entrance passage is created by a 19th-century inserted partition on the right and the original partition on the left, which includes a large built-in cupboard. In the housepart to the right, there are three large chamfered beams, with the front end of the central beam now suspended over the 19th-century window by a large iron strap. The room to the left contains two similar beams, one of which is also suspended.
