Towns End Farmhouse

Towns End Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid 18th century and early to mid 19th century. It is built from squared coursed limestone and has a thatched roof. Originally designed with a three-unit plan, it has been altered to an L-shape and stands two storeys high. The main front features an irregular arrangement of three sash windows with glazing bars, all set beneath wooden lintels. A central six-panel door is sheltered by a thatched hood. To the left, there is an ashlar gable parapet and an ashlar end stack with a moulded cornice. A 19th-century lean-to on the right has a catslide roof. The right elevation displays an irregular four-window range of casements, some of which have leaded lights, beneath flat stone arches. There are 20th-century doors in the centre and far left, also under similar heads, and a blocked door on the right. The gable parapet on the right has been rebuilt in brick. The rear elevation of this section features 20th-century windows and a rebuilt brick lateral stack. A window on the first floor far right has a notice for a cheese room. Inside, the room to the left of the entrance has a stop-chamfered spine beam, likely reused. A wide 19th-century staircase is located between walls, and other rooms contain late 18th-century to early 19th-century chamfered spine beams.
