Description
High Buston Farm Cottage is a house from the late 18th century, constructed of roughly-squared stone with a rendered right side. It features a pantile roof and rendered brick stacks. The cottage is two storeys high and has three slightly irregular bays. The right-of-centre door has been renewed but is set in an old opening, with an 8-pane trompe l'oeil window above it. The end bays have 12-pane sash windows on the ground floor and 9-pane short sash windows above. The building has end stacks. It is historically significant as the birthplace of John Common, who invented the double drill turnip sower in 1818 and a reaping machine in 1822. There is a single-storey outbuilding to the east that has been altered and is not of special interest.
