Description

The building is a cowhouse located on the north side of the farmyard at Tregunter Farm. It is constructed of whitewashed stone and features a slate roof, known locally as 'poor man's' slating, which is hipped at both the west and east ends. The cowhouse has a central cartway flanked by three doors on either side, along with larger openings that provide access to a storage loft above. The openings are supported by timber lintels. On the north side, there are nine similar large two-light wooden-framed openings, although these are now partly obscured by a continuous lean-to structure that includes stalling, which is divided into six bays by brick piers and topped with a corrugated iron roof.
