The cowhouse is built of thin bedded slate rubble with a slate roof, slate clad verge and boarded rafter ends. It is of 4 bays, three with an open front now clad with corrugated iron, and a fourth bay at the road end with a large boarded window, and its original access from the gable end, the opening having a cut slate lintel, now blocked.
