Description
The cart shed, stables, loft, and barn at Park Head Farmhouse are likely from the late 18th century, with an early 19th-century cart shed and loft, as well as an early 19th-century hemmel and storage shed featuring a hemmel wall. The structure is built from coursed rubble with quoins, and the roofs are covered with pantiles and concrete tiles, while the storage shed has Welsh slate. The hemmel wall is made of rubble with irregular block coping.
The building has a T-plan and consists of two storeys in the east range, which has three by six bays, and one low storey with three wide bays in the hemmel and storage shed that is set at right angles. The three-bay cart shed on the left side of the main range features boarded doors in the center of three segmental-headed vehicle arches with voussoirs. The left arch is half-blocked, with a hit and miss vent on the left and a boarded door on the right, while the right arch has recessed boarded doors. Above the arches, there are plain stone surrounds for two small loft openings.
The earlier long range on the right has thin wood lintels over a small vent on the left, a single boarded door in the second bay, and a small vent above on the left. There are plain stone surrounds for two loft openings, with a boarded shutter on the first and a slatted vent on the second. The right bays are obscured by the hemmel, which has a single boarded door under a wedge stone lintel. The storage shed to the right features sliding boarded doors. The roofs are steeply pitched over the first build with pantiles, while the second build has a low-pitched and hipped roof with concrete tiles, and the hemmel and storage shed have low-pitched roofs covered with Welsh slate.
The left return includes a flat stone lintel over a hit and miss vent with top glazing bars. The rear elevation facing the road shows ground-floor vent slits and a blocked door, along with a pitching door and boarded openings above. The hemmel wall in front of the cobbled forecourt to the hemmel and storage shed is made of coursed rubble with roughly rounded coping.
