Description
Deepdale Head Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid-17th century, with some alterations made in the 20th century. It is constructed of squared rubble with millstone grit dressings and has a stone slate roof. The building features a lobby entry and stands three storeys high with four bays. The entrance, located to the left of centre, has a chamfered surround and a segmental pointed head, with a door added around 1980.
On the ground floor, there is a three-light double chamfered cavetto mullioned window with a hoodmould on the left side, and to the right of centre, a four-light double chamfered cavetto window with fixed lights, along with a similar three-light window on the right. The first-floor windows are all double chamfered cavetto mullioned with hoodmoulds, including a three-light window, a blocked two-light window, and two three-light windows. The second-floor windows are similar but lack hoodmoulds, featuring three three-light windows. The windows have casements and fixed lights.
The farmhouse has gable end ridge stacks, with a left-of-centre ridge stack that projects on three moulded corbels at the eaves level. The right-hand gable end stack is similar but has two corbels. Inside, the inglenook has a chamfered surround with a basket arched head made up of ten voussoirs, and there is a salt or spice cupboard that is missing its door, along with the remains of a beehive oven. There are two entrances to the right-hand parlour, both with chamfered surrounds, and two stone corbels supporting the spine beams. A stone newel staircase is present, and a first-floor bedroom contains a 17th-century fireplace with a segmental pointed arch and chamfered surround. The roof features curved Queen strut trusses.
The rubble garden wall is butt-jointed to the farmhouse's facade and includes a 17th-century chamfered entrance with a segmental pointed arch.
