Description

Charles Head Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century to early 17th century, with significant alterations made in the 18th century and major changes in the 20th century. It is constructed from coursed buff sandstone blocks and features a Kerridge stone-slate roof, complete with a stone ridge and two stone chimneys. The building has an L-shaped plan and is two stories high with a three-bay north front. The end bays contain 20th-century small pane windows with rock-faced lintels, and a similar lintel is found above the 20th-century door. At the rear, there is a three-light square-sectioned mullion window with a dovecote above, along with a two-light rebated chamfered stone mullion visible from the kitchen of Charles Head House.

Inside, the farmhouse has a three-room plan. The parlour features an ovolo-moulded ceiling beam and a fireplace with a bead-moulded heavy stone lintel. Behind the fireplace, there are remains of an oven, and some chamfered beams can be seen upstairs. A date of 1591 was reportedly discovered during repairs to another fireplace.

The farmhouse is joined to and was formerly interconnected with Charles Head House. A 20th-century single-storey extension to the right is not included in the listing.
