Description
Kingshead House is a house dating from the late 18th century, with later extensions. It is constructed from coursed squared and dressed limestone, featuring dressed stone quoins, concrete tiling, and yellow brick stacks. The building has a rectangular main body with an extension at right angles to the rear. It stands two storeys high with an attic. The symmetrical facade has two windows and includes two two-storey dressed stone canted bays, which are lit by twelve- and sixteen-pane sash windows. At the front, there is a projecting part-glazed 19th-century gabled porch with double plank doors that conceals a six-panelled door, of which the four upper panels are now glazed. A two-light wooden casement window is present in the attic at the gable end. The gable ends feature flat coping, and there are gable-end and axial stacks. The interior has not been inspected.
