Description
The Heights Farmhouse is a mid-18th century farmhouse constructed from coursed rubble sandstone with a renewed pantile roof. It has two storeys and features three windows on the first floor, along with a wing at the rear left. The building is characterized by large quoins. To the left of the center, there is a 20th-century panelled door that has a bonded ashlar surround and a plain lintel. The flanking windows have been enlarged and fitted with 20th-century casements. The first-floor windows retain their original square-cut surrounds, with a single-light window above the door flanked by two-light windows. The farmhouse also features shaped kneelers and ashlar gable copings. There is a stone end stack to the left that has been heightened in brick, and a rendered end stack to the right.
