Description
Highfields Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1823, although the rear wing may be older. It is constructed from coursed rubble with ashlar quoins and other stone dressings, topped with a stone tiled roof. The building has two storeys and a symmetrical facade featuring three bays, with a central doorway and an 8-light sash window on either side. The upper windows are casements, and all openings have broad smooth timber lintels. There are moulded stone gable stacks. The rear wing consists of two sections: the inner part is two storeys high with various casement windows that have chamfered timber lintels and a brick stack on a coped gable. The lower section beyond it is also two storeys, with a doorway and a casement window on each floor, along with an external stone staircase. There is a further datestone located below the stack.
