Higher Healey Farm House

The house at Higher Healey Farm is a farmhouse dating from 1612, subsequently altered and extended after a period of dereliction and now used as a house. It is constructed from coursed sandstone rubble with a concrete tile roof and projecting eaves. The original building comprised two bays, although the original shippon and other structures to the left have been demolished and replaced with a modern crosswing, which is not part of the listed building. The building has two storeys, incorporating a low, chamfered plinth and large quoins. A deep, moulded dripcourse runs around three sides at first-floor level, and the west gable is slightly jettied. On the north side, the sole original opening is a double-chamfered six-light stone mullion window at first floor. Gable and south walls contain double-chamfered stone mullion windows: at ground floor, both have twelve-light windows with a king mullion, while at first floor, both have long six-light windows, the south wall window featuring a king mullion. The gable window is protected by a double-returned hoodmould supporting a moulded datestone with an arched panel lettered "1612" in relief. Above this is a three-light attic window. A corbelled garderobe is situated in the south wall, beneath a first-floor window, with a low, blocked opening at ground level directly below. The interior has been significantly altered, including the removal of a chimney stack; one original element is a ¼-round moulded beam.
