Description

High Buston Farmhouse is a house dating to the late 17th or early 18th century, with an enlargement around 1800, and a rear porch added in the later 19th century. The front is faced with squared stone, the returns are rendered, and the rear is rubble construction, with cut dressings. It has a Welsh slate roof.

The house is two storeys and three bays, arranged symmetrically. It features a plinth, bands at the first floor and eaves, and a renewed central door within a segmental-arched recess, the door itself set in a square-headed opening beneath a moulded stone hood supported by shaped corbels. Four-pane sash windows are present, with slightly projecting sills; a stone bearing a Percy crescent is located beneath the central first-floor window. Coped gables and stepped end stacks with chamfered caps are also visible. The rear elevation includes a gabled porch with a flush-panelled door and a six-pane sash window. There are various sashes on the rear elevation. Traces of previously blocked windows indicate that the original house was three storeys high.

Inside, a 0.65-metre-thick spine wall, which served as the front wall of the original house, is a notable feature. Much of the interior is from the 19th century, apart from two-panel doors on H hinges, potentially reused, in the attic. King-post roof trusses are also present.

An attached farmbuilding range is not considered to be of particular architectural interest.
