Description
Town Head Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century and early 18th century. It is constructed from coursed rubble limestone with gritstone dressings and features a plain tile roof with stone coped gables and plain kneelers. The building has a brick ridge stack and brick gable end stacks. It stands two and a half storeys high and has five bays on the road elevation.
The right-hand section, between the ridge stack and the north-west gable end, is from the late 17th or early 18th century. The ground floor includes two 2-light square section mullion windows, while above, there are two similar windows with a single light window in between. All windows have 19th-century casements. Below the eaves, there are two small 2-light recessed chamfer mullion windows. The farmhouse has flush quoins.
To the left is a mid-18th-century extension with two bays, featuring raised and chamfered quoins and a moulded eaves cornice. The doorway has a flat stone bracketed hood and a six-panel raised and fielded door with a rectangular overlight. To the left of the door is a plain sash window in a moulded stone surround, with two glazing bar sashes above, also in moulded stone surrounds.
The property is complemented by a drystone garden wall with curved copings and metal railings.
