Higher Chipping House

Higher Chipping House is a late 18th-century house located on Chipping Cutler Lane. It is constructed from coursed watershot sandstone with a slate roof, and features end stacks. The house has a symmetrical design, arranged over two storeys with an attic, and originally had three bays. The front facade includes chamfered quoins. Windows are sash windows with architraves. The front door is framed by an architrave, fluted Doric pilasters, a triglyph frieze, and a moulded pediment, all of which are in poor condition. The rear wall has chamfered mullioned windows, characteristic of the 18th century, set flush with the wall and displaying tooling marks. The central stair window has a transom. The rear door is surrounded by plain stone with furrowed diagonal tooling.

Inside, the ground floor has raised and fielded panel doors. The right-hand front room contains a stone parlour fireplace with a moulded surround and cornice hood. The left-hand room has a 19th-century fireplace that is believed to have been taken from Wyreside Tower, featuring an elliptical arch with a fluted keystone, fluted pilasters, and a cornice.
