Description
The former house to the east of Bowness House Farmhouse is now used as an outbuilding. It is likely from the 17th century, with an early 18th-century facade. The structure is built from coursed red and calciferous squared sandstone, sourced from the nearby Roman Wall, and features a graduated slate roof with a brick chimney stack. The building is two storeys high and has three bays. It includes a six-panel round-headed door set in a heavily moulded doorcase, which has impost blocks and an open-pedimented cornice. The windows are sash style with glazing bars and are framed in painted stone surrounds. The rear wall shows remnants of two stone-mullioned windows, indicating a 17th-century origin. The outbuildings to the left are not of interest.
