Description

Bowes Green Farmhouse is a house dating from the mid to late 18th century, with some remains from the 17th century. It is built of coursed gritstone rubble and has a roof made of stone and Westmorland slate. The house has two storeys and two bays, with an additional two-storey, one-bay block to the right. The central entrance features a glazed door with an overlight set in a plain stone surround. The windows on either side and on the first floor are four-pane sashes, also in plain stone surrounds. The gables have coping, and there are stacks at the ends. In the 14th century, this site was a grange belonging to the Archbishop of York, known as Bowhouse, and it was used for dairying.
