Description
High Garden House is a pair of houses, built around 1863 by S.S. Teulon for Rev. Daniel Capper, and now combined into a single residence. The house is constructed from coursed squared sandstone rubble with ashlar and yellow brick dressings. Part of the right return is clad in shingles. The roof is covered in grey-blue and green slates laid in a diaper pattern. The building has an irregular plan.
The front elevation is one and two storeys high, with four bays. The single-storey section on the left has a double boarded door set under a 2-centred brick arch in a gabled porch. A renewed window sits in the second bay, and the projecting third bay has a 5-light window with flat stone mullions, all under a label mould. To the right, the two-storey gabled section has three diagonally-leaded iron casements under label moulds. The steeply-pitched roofs have chimneys at the front left and on the right return, along with a tall round chimney located to the left of the two-storey part.
The right return features a prominent porch with a hipped roof and rear iron French windows. A round turret, set in the angle with the porch, has a tall conical roof. Inside, some original wrought-iron door fittings remain, but most doors and fittings have been replaced.
