Higher Scholes Farmhouse And Attached Barn

Higher Scholes Farmhouse and attached barn dates to the late 17th century, with alterations made in the early 19th century. The farmhouse is constructed of coursed stone with a rubblestone barn, both with stone slate roofs. The farmhouse has four first-floor windows and quoins. The windows have plain stone surrounds, and flat-faced mullions. The ground floor has a part-glazed door to the left and right of a two-light window, with a three-light window above them, and a three-light and three one-light windows above that. There is ashlar coping on the left side. A central stack has been rebuilt. At the rear of the farmhouse, double-chamfered mullion windows are visible, including one on the ground floor and four above; most of the mullions have been removed. The attached barn to the left has three bays, with a later outshut added to the front of the right bay. The barn also has quoins. A central cart entry features quoins and a massive stone lintel. There is a doorway to the left with a chamfered, quoined surround, and a similar doorway to the outshut, alongside a four-light flat-faced mullion window. Blocked vents are present. Ashlar coping is visible on the left. The rear of the barn has a threshing door with a chamfered, quoined surround.
