Higher Heights Farmhouse And Farm Buildings In Same Range

Higher Heights Farmhouse is a house dating from around 1700, accompanied by farm buildings that are possibly from the early 19th century. The structure is built of pebbledashed rubble with sandstone dressings and features a stone slate roof. It is two storeys high and has a central two-storey gabled porch.

On the left side of the porch, there are double-chamfered window surrounds on both floors, although the mullions are no longer present. To the right of the porch, there is a double-chamfered mullioned window on each floor; the ground floor window has been heightened and retains two mullions, while the first-floor window consists of three lights. The first floor of the porch extends over a string course and includes a window with an outer architrave and inner chamfer, featuring three lower lights and two upper lights, with the central lower light having a semi-circular head. The door of the porch is framed with an architrave. A chimney is located at the left end of the building.

To the left of the house is a former stable with two wide entrances that have semi-circular heads, although the left-hand entrance is now blocked. Above these entrances are a pitching hole and a door, both with plain stone surrounds, and the roof is hipped on the left side.

On the right side of the house, there is a barn and a shippon or stable. This section has two doors with plain stone surrounds towards the left, and between them is a sashed window with glazing bars and a plain stone surround at an intermediate level. Above the right-hand door is a round pitching hole with a plain stone surround, alongside a square pitching hole to its left. To the right, there is a wide entrance with dressed stone jambs and a steel lintel, and set back to the right are a door and a window with plain reveals. The right-hand gable features coping with kneelers.
