Description

High Green Farmhouse and associated outbuilding extension is a substantial farmhouse dated 1752, as inscribed on the doorway. It is constructed of squared sandstone rubble with a stone-flagged roof and stone chimney stacks. The building follows a double-pile plan.

The main garden front is two storeys and five bays, with a two-bay, two-storey extension to the left, which was originally a stable with a loft and is now used for storage. The right side and the junction between the house and extension feature raised-and-chamfered quoins. The central doorway has a six-panel door and a four-pane overlight, set within a pedimented doorcase with a frieze inscribed "John and Mary Dent 1752." The windows are primarily 12-pane sashes in moulded surrounds with projecting chamfered sills, though those to the left of the doorway have been replaced with four-pane sashes. The extension has a replaced boarded door in a flush surround to the right and a stone staircase leading to a boarded door on the left. The roof is continuous with coped gables and shaped kneelers. Stepped and corniced details are found at the right end and ridge, with an identical stack above the junction.

Several throughstones are visible on the left return of the extension.

The rear of the house faces the main road. The house has a low plinth and scattered window openings. Six steps lead to a six-panel door in an architrave on the left. Sixteen-pane sashes are found in the end bays, and a first-floor stair window with a radial head in a moulded round-arched surround is located to the right of the doorway. The extension features a boarded door in a re-set flush surround, along with a replaced four-pane casement to the left and a pigeon opening with a ledge below the eaves. The roofing details are similar to those of the main house.

The interior includes a cut-string dogleg staircase with a ramped moulded handrail and knopped turned balusters on the upper flight. The kitchen has an elaborate Delft rack with fluted pilasters. There are several four-panel doors and internal window shutters throughout the house.
