Murk Head Farmhouse

Murk Head Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around 1740. It is constructed of squared grey sandstone and features a slate roof with brick stacks. The building has a direct-entry plan that is one and a half rooms deep and is two storeys high with an attic. The symmetrical front has three windows. The central entrance consists of a 20th-century hall-glazed door set beneath a rectangular fanlight, all within a round-arched opening that has a keystone. The doorcase is adorned with an open dentilled pediment supported by panelled pilasters. The original openings contain 20th-century pivoted windows with glazing bars and keyed lintels. At the rear, there is a four-panel door with a rectangular fanlight and glazing bars. A fire window is located in the right gable wall. The farmhouse has coped gable ends and plain kneelers on its double span roof, with end stacks on the front span and one end stack on the rear span. Inside, there are 18th-century panelled doors in all the ground floor rooms.
