Hollowhead Barn is a four-bedroom detached house in Wilpshire, Blackburn, Blackburn (BB1 9LB). It has a recorded floor area of 163 m² (around 1755 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G.

It hasn't traded since August 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.
