Description
Brow Head is a three-storey farmhouse, dating to 1706, situated within a hillside setting. The exterior is cream roughcast over stone rubble, with a slate roof and end chimneys. A dripstone runs along the top of the building. There are three new casement windows on each of the upper floors, and a single window on the lowest floor facing the valley. A single-storeyed elevation faces the yard. A spinning gallery was recently discovered within the building.
