Description

Highfield and the adjacent cottage to the east are a pair of houses dating from the late 18th century, with alterations made in the 19th century. They are constructed of horizontally-tooled stone, with an ashlar door surround and cornices, and have a blue slate roof. The houses are two storeys high and consist of three bays on the left and two bays on the right. The left house has a part-glazed six-panel door, set within a 19th-century surround featuring pilasters, a cornice, and a pitched blacking course. It also has four-pane sash windows, with the sills on the ground floor having been lowered in the 19th century. The right house has a similar door and 19th-century cornice in the left bay, and four-pane sash windows in original openings. The houses have steeply-pitched roofs; the right gable is coped, and both have stepped-and-banded end stacks. A rendered right return shows a first-floor four-pane sash window.
