Sitting near the waters edge Rowan Park was a small holding, the dwelling was never known to house a working family, but two brothers called Smith did use it while building most of the stone walls at the top of the valley, it also had a round brick oven in the kitchen, and like many of the buildings in the Lake District, they were made entirely of dry stone, no cement was used in their construction. |

The roof edges were crow stepped in order to secure the slates from strong winds, for a better look at a traditional barn, see the Bowderthwaite Farm. |
