Description
The Cowhouse Range at East House Farm is a collection of farm buildings arranged around three sides of a courtyard, with the farmhouse located centrally in the northern range. Directly opposite the farmhouse is a single-storey range of cowhouses, constructed in two phases. The earliest section, located to the east, features a pegged truss roof, while a storeyed building at the eastern end of the range also reflects this earlier style. The buildings are made of lime-washed rubble with some brick dressings and have a slate roof.
The original layout included a series of doorways, which have been partially blocked and converted into windows, though the original arrangement is still clearly visible. To the left (east) of the cowhouse range is a two-storey building, the original use of which is unclear. This building has a central doorway, a loft opening above, and small flanking windows on the ground floor.
Inside the cowhouse range, the space is divided into three sections by cross walls, with a continuous feeding passage running along the back of the building. The stalls have all been renewed in concrete. The structure generally features pegged collar and tie-beam trusses, although the western section has bolted trusses, indicating it was built slightly later. The storeyed building also has similar pegged trusses.
