Friars Head Hall was first recorded around 1500, at which time it was owned by the Proctor family, who claimed to have held it since about 1300.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Redmonds |first1=George |title=The Yorkshire Dales |date=2011 |publisher=Pen & Sword |isbn=9781783408863}}</ref> The current building dates from the 17th century.

It is a large house in gritstone with a stone slate roof, consisting of a hall range and two rear cross-wings. There are two storeys, and a garden front of four projecting bays. Each bay has a gable with kneelers and ball finials, below which are mullioned and transomed windows with hood moulds, those in the top floor with three truncated-ogee lights. In the second bay is a porch with a moulded surround and imposts, a basket arch with voussoirs, and a Tudor arched doorway. Above is a hood mould, and a sundial with a gnomon and a moulded surround. Inside, there is a massive inglenook fireplace, a small fireplace in the former parlour, and upstairs are three late 17th century door surrounds.<ref name="nhle" /><ref name="pevsner" />
