Description
High Farm House is a house dating from the early to mid-17th century, with 18th century and later alterations. It is built of rubble sandstone with stone dressings and has an asbestos roof. The house has two storeys and features four windows. On the ground floor, there is a small casement window to the left, followed by sash windows flanking a door that is set in a stop-chamfered surround with a flattened Tudor arch and alternate block jambs. The first floor has four sash windows, all of which have flat stone heads and projecting stone cills. The right side of the house has a large chimney stack that is truncated at the gable peak, along with a brick chimney stack that is corbelled out at first floor level. The roof is finished with stone gable coping, and there is one brick chimney at the right end and a transverse ridge chimney located between the first and second bays.
