This cow house with hayloft over is referred to as the far side cattle building. It is located within the north range of a group of farm buildings, to the east of the root house. It was partly rebuilt by George Wreford in 1909, and is a traditional linhay with cattle housed on the ground floor and a hayloft over. The rebuilt west
bay housed a water tank at first-floor level. The earliest element dating to the 18th century or later is of cob construction, partially repaired in brick, and originally had a thatched roof, now replaced (during the 1960s) with corrugated sheets.
