Description
Highfield House is a house built in 1850, as noted on the keystone, for Joseph Cooper. It is constructed from watershot hammer-dressed stone and features a slate roof. The house has a double-depth central-staircase plan and stands two storeys tall. To the left, there is a conservatory, and a small addition is located at the rear.
The façade consists of three bays with rusticated quoins, an ashlar plinth, a first-floor band, a first-floor sill band, an eaves cornice with a blocking course, and a hipped roof. Broad steps lead up to a wide central doorway, which includes side panels and a fanlight set beneath a depressed arch adorned with rusticated voussoirs and a keystone.
On either side of the doorway, the windows are framed with eared architraves and have panelled aprons that extend below the plinth. The first-floor windows are surrounded by architraves, with the outer windows featuring triangular pediments on console brackets, while the central window has a segmental pediment. The outer windows also have sill aprons with flanking console brackets, and there is blind balustrading at the centre. The blocking course has blind piercing with articulating dies. All windows are 20th-century casements. At the rear, there is a tall arched stair window with stained glass, and the interior features a dogleg stair with cast iron balusters.
