Description

Town Head Farmhouse, likely rebuilt in the 1790s as part of the Newbiggin Hall estate, is a farmhouse with an adjoining barn range to the south. The farmhouse is constructed from coursed, squared rubble with quoins. It has a graduated slate roof with brick tops to the original stone end chimneys. The symmetrical two-storey, three-bay front features a central doorway flanked by single sixteen-pane sash windows, with two sash windows to the first floor; all openings are set within stone surrounds.

A barn/byre range with a corrugated asbestos roof adjoins the farmhouse on the left. The present wooden lintel above the threshing floor's wagon door is probably a later alteration. An original byre door with a small window is located to the left of the wagon door. The barn range was extended at a later date under the same roof and includes various additional openings, some of which are blocked. There's a hayloft access in the gable wall.

A segmental arch to a coach-house door – adjoining to the south with two storeys and three bays under a Welsh slate roof – has been partly dismantled and a 20th-century concrete lintel inserted; there are two windows to the first floor. A single-storey stable is attached and has doors to the rear.
