Townhead Farmhouse

Townhead Farmhouse is a late 17th-century farmhouse, with later 19th and 20th-century alterations. It was formerly a U-shaped building with a courtyard, but the courtyard has been filled in with an outshut. The garden front has two storeys and a double-fronted design. The central entrance has a moulded late 17th-century surround and a decorated lintel, with a late 19th-century door. There are two 19th-century two-light flat-faced mullioned windows on each storey, with sash windows, and a continuous hoodmould to the ground floor, indicating the position of four earlier 17th-century windows prior to the 19th-century alterations. Above the entrance is a slate sundial dated 1880. A central gabled dormer has a reset 17th-century mullioned window with three stepped lights, a stepped hoodmould, and kneelers to the dormer gable. Gable end and central ridge stacks are present. The left-hand wing fronting the street features a three-light chamfered window at ground level and a similar double-chamfered window on the upper floor. Inside, there's a central dog-leg staircase with a closed string, turned balusters, and a grip handrail.
