Description

High Burnlea Farmhouse and attached outbuilding is a farmhouse likely built in the late 18th century. It is constructed from sandstone rubble, featuring quoins and ashlar dressings. The roof is covered with concrete tiles, with stone slates at the eaves, and there are rendered brick chimneys. The outhouse has a pantiled roof. The farmhouse is two storeys high, with three bays, and the one-storey outbuilding has two bays and is set back on the left side.

At the center, there is a gabled one-storey porch that includes a four-pane fixed light and throughstones at the gable peak, along with a boarded door on the right side. The outer bays have flat stone lintels over ground-floor horizontal sliding four-pane sashes, which have projecting stone sills. The first-floor sashes are of a late 19th-century style and do not have sills. The building features banded end chimneys. On the left side, there is a horizontal sliding sash window on the ground floor towards the front, while the outbuilding has a blocked door and two small windows.

There are farm buildings attached to the right.
