Description
High House is a house dating from the 17th century, with alterations from the late 18th century, 19th century, and 20th century, as well as an 18th-century raising. The building is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with squared limestone rubble bands, and features rendered and brick dressings, along with brick quoins. It has raised stone coped gables and kneelers, a pantile roof, and two rendered brick gable stacks, forming an L-plan.
The front of the house is three storeys high and has three bays. It features a plain brick eaves course and a central six-panelled door set within a 20th-century rendered surround, which has a narrow hood above and is flanked by single margin light sash windows. On the first floor, there is a central glazing bar sash window, with a further glazing bar sash to the right and a plain sash window to the left. The second floor has a central small blank opening that shows traces of trompe l'oeil painting, flanked by two three-light Yorkshire sash windows. All windows are topped with flat rubbed brick arches and reveals.
At the rear of the house, there are two service blocks, one two storeys high and the other single storey, both featuring raised stone coped gables and brick gable stacks.
