High Shield and High Shield Cottage

High Shield and High Shield Cottage, dated 1770 on an earlier site, is a substantial three-storey house with a later extension and a wing. The main block is constructed of rubble with quoins, and brick quoins to the right side. It has a tiled roof with brick verges and two brick ridge chimneys. The windows are largely glazing bar sashes, except for the second floor which features two blank windows flanking a central shuttered window. A central, pedimented doorcase contains a six-panel door, and a tablet inscribed "W.B. 1770" commemorates William Bell. A gabled extension to the left has a single casement window. A lower, two-storey wing, dating back to the 17th century and originally three cottages, adjoins the right side. The south-facing facade of this wing features brick dressings and small casement windows, with former door openings blocked and converted into windows.

The property has been converted and modernized. The rear of the main house displays three storeys and three windows, with casement windows on the second floor and at the sides of the first floor, alongside glazing bar sashes. Large tripartite windows are visible on the first and ground floor sides.
