Bonnington Steading

Bonnington Steading is a rectangular plan steading, primarily built in the later 19th century, which incorporates earlier buildings in the east and west ranges. The steading features an unusual roof covering over former cattle courts that dates back to the 1950s. The structure is constructed of random rubble with stugged ashlar dressings, and it is topped with pantiles and slates.

The south range includes a segmental pend in the gabled bay at the center. To the right of the pend, there is a sliding door, while a doorway has been blocked to form a window. To the left of the pend, there is another doorway with additional machinery doors. The outer bays are gabled, closing off the east and west ranges, which feature sliding doors for machinery access on the left gable and a single doorway on the right gable. The center and left gableheads have curved triangular pigeon holes.

The east range contains former stables located to the right of center, along with a former cartshed on the outer right, which has four segmental arches that are currently blocked.

The roof of the steading consists of reinforced concrete A-frames that were made on site around 1953, creating an M-shaped roof covered with corrugated asbestos.
