Lane Head Farmhouse And Attached Barn

Lane Head Farmhouse, likely built in the late 17th century, is accompanied by an attached barn that may be even older. The structure is made of rubble stone and topped with a stone slate roof. The farmhouse consists of two cells with a porch on the right side, which connects to a small additional room. It has two storeys, featuring double chamfered stone mullion windows with two and formerly four lights. The enclosed stone porch includes chamfered doorways. On the first floor, there are two three-light windows with recessed square mullions. At the rear, on the left side, there is a two-light unmoulded window above which is a three-light double chamfered stone mullion window, likely enlarged. Inside, there is an elliptical fireplace with chamfered jambs, and corbels above it support chamfered beams. The roof structure includes two king-post trusses with angle struts that are braced to the ridge. The barn originally had opposing cart entries, but one has been blocked; it also features some chamfered doorways. The internal wall of the barn is thickened in three places on either side, suggesting the footings of former raised crucks.
