Description
Moons Town Head Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse that also served as a stable, now incorporated into the house. It is built from limewashed rubble with stone dressings and features a slate roof on the house, which has stone coping on the right-hand gable and the former left-hand gable, while the former stables have a stone slate roof. The house is two storeys high with four bays and has a varied arrangement of windows. The entrance, located to the left of center, has a chamfered surround and a chamfered basket-arched lintel, topped with a stone slate gabled hood. To the left, there is a three-light double chamfered window with cavetto mullions and a hoodmould. To the right, there is a similar window at a lower level, but with chamfered mullions and no hoodmould. A blocked segmental-headed window can be seen between this and a 19th-century window with a plain surround at the far right. The left-hand window on the upper floor is an 18th-century two-light window with a plain surround and a recessed flat-faced mullion. The center left and right windows were originally two-light double chamfered windows, but their mullions are now missing. The center right window is a 19th-century one-light window with a plain surround. All windows have 19th-century casements or sashes. The right-hand gable end features a stone ridge stack, with a similar ridge stack to the right of center. Inside, there are chamfered beams with stepped stops in the room to the right of the entrance. The former stables are two storeys high with two bays. The ground floor has a 20th-century three-light window designed in a 17th-century style. There is a pitching hole leading to the upper floor loft, which has a two-light recessed flat-faced mullioned window with a plain surround to the right. A stone stack is located at the junction with the house, and the entrance is in the left-hand return.
