Lane Head Bastle, Allendale

Description
Lane Head is situated on land which slopes gently northward towards the confluence of the East and West Allen rivers. The house has been considerably altered in recent years, but incorporates a bastle 9m by 6.3m externally; there is an 18th or 19th century outshut (recently heightened) to the rear, an 18th or 19th century barn to the east (converted to domestic accommodation in 1993), a 1986 extension to the west, and a recent porch set centrally on the south. The south wall of the bastle is of coursed rubble with large roughly squared quoins; it may have been rebuilt, as it is only 0.75m thick in contrast to the 1m of the north wall. The end walls are of rubble. The south wall is of two bays with renewed windows in tooled and margined raised stone surrounds, those in the western bay of rather narrow proportions. The north wall of the outshut shows blocked windows and a doorway with reset chamfered surround of big blocks (later heightened); this may be the original byre doorway of the bastle. During the 1993 alterations the upper part of the east gable end of the bastle was exposed...... -
