Dean Head Farmhouse

Dean Head Farmhouse is a farmhouse with a late medieval cross-wing and a main body dating from the late 17th century. There is a 19th-century addition to the right and various alterations from the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed of coursed rubble and has a stone slate roof, forming an L-shape plan. It is two storeys high, featuring a two-room cross-wing that projects to the left and a two-room house-body. The house-body has two later entrances on the left and a later casement window on the right, above which is a former three-light double-chamfered window, although the mullions have been removed. There are brick stacks, with one located at the right end of the house-body. The rear of the building includes various 19th and 20th-century casements, and a small square, chamfered fire window remains in the house-body. The left side of the cross-wing has been rebuilt in the 19th and 20th centuries and features casement windows.

Inside, a single truss survives in the center of the cross-wing, which has a jowelled post on the right side and a chamfered curved brace to the tie-beam. Re-used purlins are present, and a girding beam runs along the right wall of the cross-wing at first-floor height. The roof of the house-body is divided into three unequal bays by open trusses that incorporate re-used cruck timbers.
