High Wood Farmhouse

High Wood Farmhouse is a farmhouse built around 1830 for J G S Smith, with later additions to the left and rear from around 1860. It is constructed of yellow-grey brick in Flemish bond and has a Welsh slate roof. The early section is L-shaped in plan, featuring a central entrance hall with two rooms at the front and a stair hall to the rear, along with a wing to the rear right. The later 19th-century drawing room and rear wing are located to the left.

The south front of the farmhouse is two storeys high and has three bays, arranged symmetrically. It features a plinth, with the central bay slightly recessed. There is a flight of three stone steps leading to a plain board door, which is topped by a radial fanlight and flanked by plain pilasters and jamb-lights with stone sills beneath a segmental rubbed brick arch. The wide segmental-arched tripartite sashes have glazing bars, except for the plate glass lower central sashes on the ground floor. The farmhouse has deep eaves supported by paired brackets and a hipped roof. There are two axial stacks with stone coping and square pots. The left and right returns have recessed 12-pane sashes under rubbed brick flat arches. The wing set back to the left features a full-height flat-roofed canted brick bay with plate-glass sashes and a hipped roof.

Inside, the farmhouse has an open well staircase with a ramped and wreathed handrail, slender tapered column balusters, and a clustered newel. The main rooms, entrance, and stair hall have moulded cornices. Each floor's main rooms feature 6-beaded-panel doors and windows with shutters in ribbed architraves, which have carved paterae at the angles and moulded cornices. A similar surround is found on the fireplace in the study located at the rear left.
