Ingheads

Ingheads is a farmhouse with an attached barn, dating probably from the 17th century, with remodelling and enlargement in the later 17th or earlier 18th century, and subsequent alterations. It is constructed of coursed rubble with quoins and through-stones, with the front of the house painted white, and has a continuous stone slate roof. The building has a T-shaped plan, formed by a long, single-depth, two-unit main range facing north, likely originally a longhouse, with an added rear wing and a barn extending westward.

The exterior has two widely spaced windows, presenting an almost symmetrical façade. A discontinuous course of through-stones runs along the ground floor to the left, with a stone slate band at a higher level to the right, possibly indicating former eaves; a quoined vertical junction is visible in the centre of the first floor. The ground floor features an unusual, wide gabled porch with a pair of square-headed outer doorways separated by a pier, two inner doorways, stone side benches, and three pigeon holes in the gable. A small six-pane fixed window sits to the left, and an oblong twelve-pane fixed window is to the right, with an opening pane in its top right corner. The first floor has nine-pane fixed windows, the one to the right also with an opening pane. Corbelled chimneys are present to the left and at the junction with the barn to the right, with the corbels visible in the barn. The barn incorporates a garage doorway. The rear of the building is dominated by a very wide, two-storey gabled wing, with a fire-window to the west.

The interior is notable for a very thick stone lateral partition wall with a lintel above a former doorway, located next to the rear wall. The house part of the building to the right features two chamfered lateral beams, one formerly a smokehood bressumer, and exposed joists. A parlour to the left has a fireplace with a corbelled lintel. A collarless principal-rafter roof truss is present in the house, and two similar trusses are in the barn.
