Springhead Farmhouse

Springhead Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the mid 18th century, with a mid 19th-century extension on the right and bay windows. The building is constructed of limewashed limestone rubble and features a pantile roof with stone rubble stacks, as well as a brick end stack on the rear wing. The layout is L-shaped, with a rear wing and a one-room addition from the mid 19th century on the right side.

The farmhouse is two storeys high, with the main block displaying a two-window front. The first floor has 18th-century wooden cross windows with timber lintels and wrought iron fittings for the opening casements. On the ground floor, there is a half-glazed door with a gabled and bracketed hood, alongside a mid 19th-century canted bay window featuring two sets of three-pane casements. The gables are stone-coped, and there are end stacks. The west gable includes two-light wood-mullioned windows with iron fittings for external shutters. The east elevation of the rear wing has a blocked former central entry and a similar three-light transomed window on the first floor with leaded upper lights.

The mid 19th-century extension is lower and has a hipped roof to the right, featuring a two-light casement above a similar bay window. Inside, the farmhouse retains many original features, including a stop-chamfered beam in the rear wing, a substantial 17th-century studded door with moulded muntins and mid-rail set in an ovolo-moulded frame (likely reset), and an open fireplace with a wood lintel in the former hall/kitchen of the left ground-floor room. The first-floor fireplaces have moulded architraves and flanking panelled doors with moulded architraves, while the fireplace in the rear wing contains an 18th-century cast-iron hob grate. The attic retains an obscured 18th-century roof structure and a blocked two-light wood-mullioned window with leaded lights in the west gable.
