Description
High House Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated around 1750, located in Marwood. It is constructed from limewashed coursed rubble with a high squared rubble plinth, quoins, and ashlar dressings. The roof is made of Welsh slate, featuring stone gable copings and ashlar chimneys. The building consists of two sections: the main house is two storeys high with three bays, and there is a two-storey, one-bay extension on the right.
The second bay contains a fitted boarded door with an overlight set in an architrave, and the date and initials above the door are partly obscured by limewash. The windows have flat stone lintels and slightly projecting stone sills, with late 19th-century sash windows. The roof features moulded kneelers, a corniced chimney at the left end, and banded chimneys to the right of the third bay and at the right end of the building.
