Description
Heights Farmhouse is a house built in 1720 that has been altered over time. It is constructed from slobbered sandstone rubble and features a stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and three bays. The windows consist of two lights with square mullions and chamfered surrounds, and they are fitted with casements that have glazing bars. The ground-floor window in the left-hand bay has a chamfered mullion but is now covered by a glazed porch. The central bay contains a door that is currently covered by a single-storey gabled wing. The door surround features edge roll moulding and a shaped lintel with a hood, inscribed with 'TGE 1720'. To the left, there is an additional bay that projects forward, but its ground floor is now blank. On the first floor, there is a window with plain reveals.
