History

Probably C18 agricultural building, extended by the addition of a 2-unit cowhouse at the E gable and re-roofed in the late C20.

Exterior

Linear range built of random rubble masonry, slate roof with slate copings. The W gable has an external flight of stone steps leading up to a partially blocked doorway which now houses a fixed 2-pane light. The main part of the range has 2 doorways to the centre and a single window to R (W) end. Set back from the front (N) elevation at the L (E) end is a lower 2-unit block of similar construction.

Interior

The interior of the main part has a modern roof, the block to E has the original roof structure of 2-bays with rough hewn A-frame trusses, a massive beam and natural purlins.

Reasons for Listing

Included as a C18 cowhouse of good traditional character, part of an exceptionally complete farmstead group at Argoed.
