Townhead House

Townhead House is a house that dates from the late 17th century to early 18th century, with alterations made in the mid-19th century and 20th century. It features pebbledash with stone dressings and a stone slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has three bays. The former central entrance has an early 18th-century basket arched lintel with a pendant imitation keystone, a plank door, and an early 20th-century gabled wooden porch. There are two windows on each storey, which were originally two-light chamfered mullioned windows, but the mullions are now missing. The ground floor has 12-pane sash windows, while the upper floor has 16-pane sash windows. The left-hand bay is a mid-19th-century extension that now contains a 20th-century garage entrance. The house has overhanging eaves, a right-hand gable end stack, and a ridge stack at the former left-hand gable. It was formerly a gardener's cottage to Austwick Hall.
