Seend Head House

Seend Head House is a house dating primarily from the late 18th century, although it may incorporate an earlier core. The front of the house is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings, while the rest of the building is of rubble stone, and the roof is covered in stone slates, with a hipped design to the east. There are ridge and west end stacks. The front facade is tall and plain, featuring seven windows over three stories. It has rusticated quoins, an ashlar plinth and band, and ashlar window surrounds. The windows are 19th-century sashes, with four panes on the second floor in raised, molded surrounds, six panes on the first floor in architraves, and six panes on the ground floor in raised, molded surrounds. A six-panel door sits within an architrave surround and beneath a hood supported by brackets, located in the third bay. A single-story extension to the east has a window and door, both within segmental-headed, raised, molded surrounds. The rear wall features a door with a hood on brackets flanking a twelve-pane sash window with a raised, molded surround; a similar sash window is positioned above. The interior has a late 18th or early 19th century dog-leg staircase. The house is linked historically to Seend Head Mill and was owned by the Dugdale family in the 17th century.
