Description
Westward Barn and The Cow House are former agricultural buildings located on Main Street in Ebberston. The byre dates from the early 18th century and is attached to a barn from the 19th century. The structure is built from coursed rubble sandstone, featuring herringbone-tooled quoins on the barn and a pantile roof. The byre has a plank and muntin stable door positioned left of center, with timber-framed window openings on either side. The barn includes two board doors on the right and center, along with a boarded pitching window for the loft in between. There are also pitching windows at both gable ends. The byre's pitched roof is topped with interlocking ridge capping stones, and there is a blocked door at the rear of the threshing barn. Inside the byre, there is a pair of jointed crossed apex crucks with a collar at the center.
