Description
Pysent Dairy Farmhouse and the attached cattle shelter with walling date from the early 19th century. The farmhouse is built of Flemish bond brick and features double-Roman tiled roofs and brick stacks. It has five bays and two storeys, with cambered-head, two-light stone-mullioned windows. The entrance is through a door opening in a late 20th-century brick porch. To the right of the farmhouse is a 17-bay cattle shelter with a hipped roof, supported by Ham stone columns, with some brick infilling. The walling in front of the house connects to a high brick wall that returns to the house and includes eleven segmental-head blank arches.
