Description
High Ashes Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid 18th century, which may conceal an earlier plan, and has 19th-century alterations and additions. It is constructed of coursed squared gritstone with ashlar dressings, featuring quoins, coped gables with moulded kneelers, gable and ridge ashlar stacks, and a concrete tiled roof.
The south elevation has two storeys and four bays, with an off-centre doorway. To the west are two bays and one bay to the east. The quoined doorway has a massive lintel above which a band course rises to form a hood mould. This band course connects the heads of the ground-floor windows, which were originally two-light flush-mullioned openings within flush stone frames. Currently, there are 20th-century side-hung casements with a single horizontal glazing bar. The band course also sweeps upwards at the ends of this elevation. The first floor has four two-light casement windows, with the mullions removed but still featuring flush surrounds.
The west elevation includes a 20th-century bay window and a former first-floor doorway beneath a massive lintel, which now has a two-light flush-mullioned window. There is also a small square four-pane window at the gable apex. The rear elevation features a long 19th-century offshoot and a low gabled range extending northwards at the west end.
