Description
Field Head House is a large detached house dating from the late 18th century. It features an ashlar front and a hammer-dressed stone rear, topped with a stone slate roof. The building stands two storeys high with an attic and has a three-bay symmetrical facade. The central entrance consists of a six-panel door topped by a semi-circular fanlight with radial glazing bars. Engaged Doric columns support an open triangular pediment above the doorway. The house has large twelve-pane sash windows, some of which have blown glass, and a moulded eaves cornice. There are four ashlar gable stacks, each with a cornice.
Flanking the main house are single-storey side wings; the left wing has a facade only, while the right wing forms the front of a single-storey addition. Each wing features a doorway with an architrave and a six-panel door, with the left door being a recent replacement and the right door made of stone. Both wings also contain a niche. The rear elevation includes a 20th-century single-storey porch. On the left side of the rear, there is one four-light window on each floor, and on the right side, one two-light window on each floor, all with flat-faced mullions. Moulded stone brackets support the gutter. The left gable has an oval window at the apex and a first-floor round-arched window with Gothick glazing bars, while the right gable features a taking-in door to the attic.
Inside, the central hall includes a stone staircase at the rear, which has a moulded soffit to the treads and a ramped moulded handrail leading to an iron balustrade.
