Description

The Old Farmhouse and High Lee Farmhouse comprise three dwellings, dating back to the first quarter of the 17th century, and recorded in a Glebe list from 1626. The building underwent substantial rebuilding in the late 18th century. It is constructed of coursed stone and has a stone slate roof. The original design was likely a hall with cross-wings, featuring a through passage. The south front is two storeys and three bays wide. The first bay has a three-light mullion window, with a two-light window above. A straight joint marks the boundary between the first and second bays, suggesting the second bay was rebuilt forward of the original wall line. The second bay has a doorway with a deep, chamfered lintel on its right side, next to a seven-light, double-chamfered mullion window. The mullions within this window are hollow-chamfered. Above this window are a two-light and a one-light flat-faced mullion window. The third bay features quoins and a 19th-century door, with a two-light and a three-light window to its left, topped by a three-light window. All feature hollow-chamfered surrounds and mullions that have been removed. Coping is present on the left side. Three ridge stacks have chamfered capstones. On the rear, the left bay has a four-light window, now reduced to two lights, alongside a three-light window above. The central bay, separated by a straight joint, features a door with a chamfered lintel and a quoined left jamb, adjacent to a two-light chamfered mullion window. The right bay projects forward and is gabled, with a stack at the rear. A chamfered mullion window, now replaced with a modern window, is visible on the left return, along with a three-light window above, where the mullions have been removed. The right return has a three-light chamfered window, with missing mullions. Inside the central bay, The Old Farmhouse, the through passage has an inner Tudor-arched doorway and a chamfered stone course above the left-hand cross-wall. The housebody contains a stone fireplace with a deep lintel, reused chamfered spine beams, and wide first-floor floorboards. A barrel-vaulted cellar sits under the rear room and dates to the 18th century, featuring a three-light window; the outer lights are blind and the mullions have rebates for shutters. The roof includes purlins with heavy scantling.
