Description
Town Head Farmhouse and the adjoining barn date from the mid-18th century. They feature painted rubble walls beneath a graduated greenslate roof, with rebuilt sandstone chimney stacks. The farmhouse is two storeys high and consists of three bays, with a three-bay barn attached to the right. A central 20th-century door is set within a gabled stone porch. The ground-floor windows are casements, with the one to the right of the doorway being double and featuring a flat stone mullion. The upper-floor windows are sash types with glazing bars, all framed in painted stone surrounds. The barn includes an off-centre segmental cart archway and a left-side casement window, both in painted stone surrounds, along with two right-side plank doors and a loft doorway.
