Townhead House

Townhead House is a house with late 18th-century origins, though altered in the 19th and 20th centuries, and with evidence of a 17th-century core. It is constructed of rendered stone with painted dressings and a slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has three bays. The entrance is on the left side of the centre, featuring a plain surround and a 20th-century door. The left and right bays each contain one plain window per storey. These were originally two-light mullioned windows, but the mullions have now been removed; the windows now have sashes without glazing bars. A projecting, flattened bow bay occupies the centre, featuring a former French window with a plain surround, a 25-pane fixed light, and a fanlight above. An upper floor string-course runs along the building, and the upper floor window in the bow bay also has sashes without glazing bars. Moulded eaves with modillions are present on the outer bays, and a cornice is visible on the bow. Gable end kneelers and coping are present, alongside a gable end ridge and two ridge stacks. The rear of the house retains remnants of 17th-century mullioned windows, though the mullions have been removed. The interior is not accessible.
