Woodhead Farmhouse

Woodhead Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in 1673. It features thin coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and a stone slate roof. This lobby-entry house consists of two cells and an outshut that contains the stairs, along with a service end that has been partly rebuilt. The building has two storeys and a front with four bays. A two-storey gabled porch in the third bay separates the older part of the house from the rebuilt 19th-century kitchen wall, which is flush with the porch.

The ground floor has double chamfered stone mullion windows with two lights (which were probably formerly four) and three lights (which were probably formerly five), both featuring hoodmoulds. There are similar two-light windows above each of these, without hoodmoulds. The ground floor windows may have been lengthened downwards. The porch contains a similar two-light window below and a 19th-century or restored three-light chamfered mullioned window above. A water spout located well below the eaves may indicate that the porch has been increased in height. The storeys of the porch are separated by an ogee-moulded string.

There is a triangular-headed doorway on the side with moulded jambs, and the lintel is inscribed with the words: "Fear you S Lest you be cut The Lord God P M off with the Sword," accompanied by sword and fleur-de-lys carvings. Above this inscription is a long devotional phrase. The sides and rear of the house have additional chamfered openings, and there is a stone sundial on the left-hand gable. The farmhouse has four chimneys.

Inside, the inner doorway has a lattice pattern cut into the lintel. The main living area does not retain any visible features, but the parlour includes a large stone fireplace with intricately carved foliage surrounding the initials "PS 1673." There are some chamfered stone doorways on the ground floor, and on the first floor, there is a large plastered smoke hood over a former fireplace. The house was likely built by Peter Scarborough of Kildwick Grange.
