The High House

The High House is a house dating from the 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th century and late 19th century. It features a timber frame with sections of painted brick and wattle-and-daub infill, a sandstone plinth and stacks, and rendered surfaces on the north and south gable ends. The roof is slate, hipped to the west. The building has a T-shaped plan with a cross-wing at the east end. The north front has three entrances, two gable end stacks on the cross-wing and at the end of the main range. The cross-wing is two storeys with a basement, while the main range is a single storey with an attic. On the north front, there is a blind gable end of the cross-wing to the left with a ledged door on the right return. The main wing has a central dormer with a two-light casement, and a single-light window below the eaves to the left that lights the stair. To the right of two ledged doors with plain canopies, there is one two-light glazing bar casement. The east return of the cross-wing features an early 20th-century wrought iron bow window with many glazing bars, which is said to have been made in a nearby forge.
