Description
Town Head Farmhouse is a building that dates from the late 18th century to the early 19th century, although it has older origins. It is constructed of roughcast rubble with a stone slate roof and stands two storeys high, featuring three first-floor windows. Between the first and second bays and the second and third bays, there are part-glazed doors set in ashlar surrounds with splayed bases. The first bay contains sash windows with ashlar sills and deep lintels, while the second and third bays have sash windows in ashlar surrounds. The building is adorned with shaped kneelers and moulded ashlar coping, and it has stacks at the ends and to the right of the second door.
At the rear, there is a late 18th-century round-arched landing window, along with two-light and three-light double-chamfered mullion windows on the first floor. The right return features a blocked segmental-arched cart-shed opening, and above it on the first floor, there is the surround of a two-light double-chamfered mullion window.
