13, 13A, 14, and 15, Higham, Main Road

The property comprises four dwellings—Nos. 13, 13A, 14, and 15—located on Main Road, Higham. The house likely originated in the 15th century, with substantial development in the 17th century. No. 13 and No. 14 were refronted in 1887, while No. 15 was likely refronted in the early 19th century. The construction utilizes coursed sandstone blocks, with coursed squared sandstone on the facade of No. 14. Roofs are covered with plain tiles, stone ridges to Nos. 14 and 15, and stone slates to No. 13. Notable features include a quoined brick side wall stack with diamond-set brick pots to No. 14, twin brick gable end stack to the west gable of No. 15, stone gable end and brick ridge stacks to No. 13, and a stone coped gable with moulded kneelers to No. 14.

The overall layout is roughly L-shaped. No. 13 features a chamfered quoined flush doorcase to the north. To the south, two 19th-century two-light recessed and chamfered mullion windows are situated above similar windows below. No. 14 is a two-story, single-bay structure with a 19th-century three-light recessed and chamfered mullion window to the north elevation and a four-centred arched doorcase to the south, bearing a plaque inscribed with “T” and “WCES 1887.” No. 15 is two stories and two bays, exhibiting a central flush doorcase, plank door, and segmental arched windows with iron casements, protected by arched Tudor-style dripmoulds. A rear elevation reveals a 17th-century arched single-light window and two two-light flush mullion windows.

Internally, No. 13 contains a raised cruck with timber studding infill, while No. 14 houses a full-height cruck and a large upper open cruck with arched braces. A timber-studded internal wall in No. 14 is likely contemporary with the cruck. The north elevation of No. 13 displays massive stone blocks indicating early construction, while modern windows have been inserted throughout.
