Description

Headland Warren Farmhouse, including the adjoining barn, is a small farmhouse likely dating from the late 16th century to early 17th century, with significant alterations made in the 20th century. The structure features granite rubble walls, with the left side of the front wall rendered. It has a tall granite rubble gable end stack with drip-moulds and a thatched roof, part of which is covered with corrugated asbestos. The original plan of the building is somewhat obscured by alterations, but it appears to have originally consisted of two rooms, one of which was heated by the gable end stack and had a newel staircase beside it. The farmhouse is two storeys high, with the house on the left and a long barn on the right.

The front of the house is asymmetrical with two windows. It has two-light 20th-century casements with glazing bars. On the ground floor to the left, there is a three-light granite mullioned window with a hoodmould and iron stanchion bars, featuring chamfered mullions and frame. To the right of this window is a 20th-century glass conservatory with a lean-to roof, and behind it is a 19th-century plank front door. To the right of the conservatory is a granite rubble outshut, above which is a large first-floor 20th-century three-light casement dormer window. On the ground floor to the right of the outshut is a double French window.

The barn begins to the right of the farmhouse, with its wall projecting slightly forward. It is constructed of granite rubble and has a corrugated iron roof. The barn features two stable doors on the ground floor, accessed by steps to the left and at the center, with outshuts between them and to the right. There is a loading door on the first floor of the right gable end. The barn is divided into two sections by a stone wall in the center and contains heavy, roughly chamfered cross beams. The interior of the house was inaccessible at the time of the survey, but it was noted to contain an open fireplace with a wooden lintel and stairs in the corner beyond.
