Bowber Head (West House)

Bowber Head (West House) is a house believed to date from the 16th century, with its original thatched roof raised and the house extended in the 18th century. The main part of the house is constructed from wet-dashed rubble with rusticated quoins, while the extension and the northern return are made of coursed, squared rubble with quoins. It features a graduated slate roof with an outshut at the rear and stands 2 and a half storeys tall. The main house has a symmetrical three-bay facade, with a central glazed door flanked by sash windows on either side and three blocked attic windows located below the eaves. The single-bay southern extension includes fixed windows on both the ground and first floors. The extension is topped with stone copings and kneelers, and has rendered mid and end chimneys. There are outbuildings adjoining the southern return, but they are not of interest.
