Higher House

This is an early 18th-century house constructed of coursed rubble with flush quoins. It is symmetrical in design and originally two and a half storeys high. The doorway features a moulded architrave and a pulvinated frieze. A castellated porch, likely from the 19th century, has been added. The front facade is characterised by large transom and mullioned windows, with a total of twelve lights and a dripmould on the left side; the upper lights have leading. Above each of these windows is a five-light window also with a dripmould. A round-arched window, featuring a keystone and impost mouldings and a narrow mullion and transom, sits above the porch. A stone eaves gutter runs along the roofline, and five dormers with hipped roofs are set into the stone slab roof. Tall gable chimneys are present.

A lower two-storey extension to the right is dated "John and Mary Roster/1820". Another, even lower extension likely of a similar date, is adjacent to the original house. These later sections share a similar construction but have tall, square-mullioned windows of two and three lights. Later 20th-century metal casements have replaced the mullions within the right-hand extension, and a metal balcony, also probably from the 20th century, fronts the upper window.

Historically, the house served as the White Hart Inn until 1884. It is known as Higher House to differentiate it from the Shoulder of Mutton public house (known as Lower House), which shared a reputation for disorder around 1800.
