Description

Lane Head is a house built in the early 19th century. It features painted incised stucco with V-jointed quoins and is topped with a graduated greenslate roof that has stucco chimney stacks. The left end wall is hung with Welsh slate. The house is two storeys high and has three bays, with a lower two-storey, single-bay extension on the left side. The entrance consists of a panelled door with an overlight, set in a plain stone surround beneath a bracketed cornice. The windows are sash style with glazing bars, framed in painted stone surrounds. The extension has double sash windows also in painted stone surrounds. A barn located beyond the quoin stones is not considered of interest.
