Howes

Howes is an earlier 19th century farmhouse with an extensive steading, primarily arranged around a quadrangular courtyard. The steading features a tall brick engine house stack and incorporates 18th century fabric in the smaller courtyard to the south. The buildings are constructed of red rubble with ashlar dressings, and the house has painted margins, with most roofs being slated.

The house is two storeys high and has three bays, featuring a castellated central porch that faces south. It has coped end stacks and a piended U-plan roof, with sash windows that have a 12-pane glazing pattern. There are lean-to additions on the eastern flank of the house.

The steading consists of one and two-storey ranges. The main courtyard block includes a tall eight-bay eastern range with a three-bay cartshed and a blocked tall opening, possibly for winnowing, to the east. There is a forestair leading to the courtyard and boarded upper openings. In the southeast corner of the courtyard, there is a gabled engine house with a tall square stack. The western range includes a pend, while the southern range has a blocked segmental archway that opens into the lesser courtyard, which is closed on the west by a long one and two-storey range.
