Highfields Farmhouse and Attached Outbuildings

Highfields Farmhouse and its attached outbuildings date from the 17th and early 18th centuries, with some 19th-century additions. The buildings are constructed from coursed squared sandstone with sandstone dressings and a plinth, topped with graduated slate roofs featuring stone-coped gables. The farmhouse has an irregular plan, consisting of a central two-bay 18th-century house, a 17th-century gabled crosswing to the east, and a single-bay 19th-century addition to the west, which is angled. This addition is connected to a long range of outbuildings.

The farmhouse has two storeys plus attics. The south elevation features an off-centre doorcase with flush quoining, topped by a bracketed open pediment and a plank door. This is flanked by 18th-century two-light flush mullion windows with dripmoulds. There is a similar window to the east under a 17th-century dripmould. Above these, there is a four-light recessed and chamfered mullion window with a dripmould, and to the west, two more similar 18th-century two-light windows. In the gable of the 17th-century wing to the east, there is a three-light recessed and chamfered mullion window with a dripmould and two doveholes above. The 19th-century addition to the west has a plain doorcase and a 20th-century window on the ground floor, with a glazing bar sash above.

The east elevation of the house has two 19th-century windows below, with a four-light and a three-light 17th-century recessed and chamfered mullion window above. The outbuildings feature four quoined doorcases, each with windows on the southern side and two hayloft openings above.

Inside the house, there is an early 18th-century wavy splat baluster staircase, well-crafted panelled doors in panelled surrounds, chamfered beams, an inglenook fireplace with side cupboards, a semi-circular headed wall cupboard, and the original front door with wooden bolts.
