Description

Shugden Head Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1682, which has been restored and partially rebuilt while maintaining its original character. It is constructed of coursed stone and features a stone slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has a two-room plan, with quoins on the right side.

To the right, there is an altered stone porch with a mono-pitched roof, featuring a Tudor-arched lintel and decorative spandrels inscribed with "JF 1682." There are stone seats on either side of the porch, and the doorway and inner doorway have chamfered surrounds. Above the porch is a recent two-light window. To the left of the porch, there is a six-light window and a five-light window, both with a continuous drip mould. On the first floor, there are two five-light windows, all of which are double-chamfered and have been restored. The farmhouse has a central stone stack and gable copings on moulded kneelers.

Inside, the right room features a Tudor-arched fireplace with spandrel decoration similar to that of the porch. There is a beehive oven on the right side with a small fine opening below it. The interior also includes stop-chamfered beams and an original roof truss with struts, along with a second truss that is not visible.
