Description

Town Head House is a farmhouse dated 1714, with a later 18th-century addition. It is constructed of coursed rubble and features a stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and a double-depth plan, with the rear range being the later addition. There are two first-floor windows and quoins at the corners. The central entrance has a 20th-century part-glazed door set in a chamfered quoined surround, with a lintel that is carved with a shield displaying the raised characters "H M 1714".

The windows are double-chamfered mullion types, with alterations on the ground floor: there is a two-light window that was formerly four-light to the left, and a two-light window that was also formerly four-light but has been increased in height to the right. The first floor has a three-light window. The roof is a two-span design with kneelers and ashlar copings, and there are end stacks on the front range.

On the rear, the ground floor features a surround of a two-light double-chamfered mullion window and shaped kneelers. The right return of the front range has a double-chamfered surround for a single-light ground-floor window.
