Description
Higham House is a house dating from the 18th century, with alterations from the 19th century, renovated in the 1980s. It is constructed of coursed sandstone rubble with gritstone dressings and quoins. The roof is slate, with the two lowest courses in stone slates, and features a stone ridge. The gable ends have rendered stacks, and the stone coped gables have plain kneelers. The house is two storeys high and originally three bays wide. The central doorway has a flush doorcase with large jambs, a lintel, and imposts, now containing a 20th-century door. To the north is a 19th-century small-pane window under a flush lintel, with a renewed 2-light flush mullion window immediately adjacent. To the south is a blocked former doorcase with a fixed, small-pane window, and beyond, a larger 19th-century window. On the upper floor are two 2-light flush mullion windows, with a similar single-light window positioned above the door. All the windows are now 20th-century small-pane casements.
