Description
Highfield House is an early to mid-19th century house located in Rothwell, Woodlesford. It is built of ashlar and coursed squared stone with a grey slate roof. The house is two storeys high and originally comprised three bays by two. It features a plinth, a first-floor sill band, a cornice, and a parapet. The central entrance is a four-panel door, with the upper panels glazed, set within a portico supported by Roman Ionic columns, a frieze, a cornice, and a blocking course. The windows are sash windows with glazing bars; the ground floor windows are taller. There is a window positioned above the door, contained within an architrave. The roof is hipped and has corniced end stacks. A service range to the rear, now known as Highfield Cottage, is not considered to be of special architectural or historic interest.
