Description

Lower Fieldhead Farmhouse and the attached barn date back to 1625 and were rebuilt as a two-cell laithe-house in the early 19th century. The building is constructed from hammer-dressed stone and features a stone slate roof. It has two storeys. The main entrance includes a doorway with a straight lintel that bears a date, and the jambs are composite with a chamfered surround. The windows are all chamfered mullioned, with a prominent five-light window and a three-light window above on the first floor. There is a segmental-arched cart entry with skewbacks and a mistal doorway at the lower end. The right-hand return wall has quoined angles. At the rear, there is a two-light window and a six-light window, while the first floor has two small 19th-century lights and one two-light chamfered mullioned window. A single stack is located at the ridge.
