Cowhouse has 2 doorways at front alternating with 3 small multi-paned/ventilated windows, all with stone lintels; ventilation slits to left of centre and right, latter blocked. Stone steps with retaining wall on right gable end lead to boarded door; small rooflights to front and back lighting loft at this end. Pigsties behind cowhouse, larger at right-angles with gable-ended roof and 3 pens, smaller of lean-to type (also free standing) with 2 pens.
