Description
The property comprises a large, L-shaped range of buildings forming four dwellings: Higher Longfield Cottages (Nos. 5 and 6) and Higher Longfield Farmhouse, along with a rear farm cottage. Nos. 5 and 6 date to the late 17th century and are constructed of rubble masonry with a stone slate roof, originally a two-cell house. The farmhouse, positioned higher, was built in the mid-18th century using hammer-dressed stone with a slate roof. A mid-18th century farm cottage is also present, built with hammer-dressed stone and a slate roof.
The south front of Nos. 5 and 6 is two storeys high and features a coped gable with kneelers and a reduced stack. It has two double-chamfered mullioned windows of four lights (without mullions), and a chamfered light on the ground floor. The first floor holds chamfered mullioned windows: one of three lights and two of two lights, all lacking mullions. The farmhouse exhibits quoins, a moulded cornice, and three bays of tall, narrow windows that were formerly sashed, now with modern glazing and plain stone surrounds with projecting sills. A doorway with a shallow porch, featuring monolithic jambs, a simple entablature, and a triangular pediment, is set between the first two bays of the farmhouse. It also features moulded coped gables, the left of which has a broad ashlar stack.
At the rear of Nos. 5 and 6 is a single-storey range extending two bays under a catslide roof with the main range. The farmhouse is distinguished by a double-chamfered mullioned and transomed stair window with six uneven-sized lights. The farm cottage is characterised by quoins and a convex moulded stone gutter. It has two bays of altered windows with chamfered surrounds. A blocked doorway at the junction of the farm cottage and farmhouse has monolithic jambs, with a first-floor taking-in door reduced to a window positioned above. A single stack is located on the ridge.
Inside the farmhouse, the dog-leg close string staircase features an 18th-century ramped handrail, turned balusters, and newels.
