Full description

Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.

Two structures visible in similar location to the cow houses shown on modern mapping. One long building aligned north-east south-west. The other is a small square structure to the south-east of this.

Stucture is similar in plan to that shown on modern mapping. Range looks larger due to another attached structure on the north side.

L-plan range of lofted cow houses, probably 19th century. Should be conserved as a group to give the farmhouse its proper context. Map object based on this Source.

The Northern Shippon
c1890-1900
This was built with the eastern shippon . It is a relatively large building facing south onto the stockyard. The eastern end (adjoining to the north end of the eastern shippon) was converted to a milking parlour in the mid 20th century and altered again later.

There is an original dooray opening west of centre with granite jambs and a red brick segmental arch head.

Apparently some sources have said that there has always been a milking parlour here but it seems likely that it was a little smaller originally with the western front windoe (blocked) and the western rear doorways serving th amin shipponwhich took up the rest of the building.

The Eastern Shippon
c1890-1900
This includedes a shippon in the centre but the north end was originally the root store according to sources and the south end includes a cvartshed and a trap shed. The floor over the cartshed includes a trap door.
